Breda To Market

B&W Boilers In Italy • Babcock & Wilcox (U.S.A.) and

Breda Termomeccanica E Locomo- tive, S.p.A., Milan, have signed a license agreement giving Breda the right to manufacture and market

B&W-designed marine boilers in

Italy.

In announcing the agreement,

Robert E. Whitam, B&W's man- ager of Marine Commercial Opera- tions, said the move marks the en- try of B&W (U.S.A.) into the in- ternational marine propulsion ma- chinery market.

Mr. Whitam noted that the pre- ponderance of world ship construc- tion is foreign, and that the agree- ment would now open up this pre- viously untapped market for the company. "In addition, we hope to convey to domestic shipowners and oper- ators a broadening of our scale of operations," Mr. Whitam said, pointing out that a "good percent- age" of ships built overseas are owned and operated by American companies.

Babcock & Wilcox (U.S.A.) is one of the world's largest manu- facturers of marine boilers with over 11,000 boilers installed aboard more than 4,700 vessels of all types.

Breda, which is also licensed by

B&W (U.S.A.) to manufacture and market utility boilers in Italy, is a major manufacturer of mechanical machinery.

THE LARGER. THE BETTER ?

NO. NOT ALWAYS.

That's our answer to economical petroleum transpor- tation. That's why we've designed many standardized tankers. Not the world's largest, but very economical.

And our latest masterpieces are two new standards: 250,000 DWT and 270,000 DWT tankers.

We solved many problems by designing them. Prob- lems of today and tomorrow. The new IMCO ruling.

The Suez condition. The Malacca Strait. And, the most important of all: how to build, cruise, load/ unload more economically.

Features are impressive: newly designed automation and remote control devices; PRIMA-VAC system for fast stripping; fully standardized auxiliaries for simple maintenance; inert-gas system for maximum safety and minimum corrosion.

We are confident of success. Because we've already received orders from major shipowners—Mobil Oil,

Campagnie Auxiliaire De Navigation, World Wide (Shipping), Ltd., and Island Navigation Corporation.

It's another great step for us, the specialists in stan- dardization.
