4 Big Reasons for Using TRO-MAR SR when

Burning Heavy Fuel in Trunk Piston Engines.

Extensive shipboard ex- perience confirms that

Tro-Mar SR 30 and SR 40 are excellent oils for medium-speed trunk engines burning residual fuel. Available worldwide, they assure reliable and economic operation in the most severe applications.

FUELS AND LUBRICANTS

System oil contamination is a constant threat in trunk type engines, especially when burning heavy fuel.

The higher sulphur and ash content of this fuel produces residue and acids that enter the crankcase. Wear debris and blow-by gases, includ- ing water vapor, add to the problem.

Tro-Mar SR overcomes these obstacles and gives: 1. Clean engine perform- ance — pistons have very low deposits and these are removed easily; engine interiors are clean. 2. Low liner wear — averaging 0.015 mm/1000 hrs. 3. Long oil life — over 14,000 hours and still in use in some engines. 4. Long intervals between engine overhauls — as much as 19,000 hours with performance still satisfactory.

TCTs R.D. Carter

Elected President Of

Containerization Inst.

The election of R.D. (Nick)

Carter, president of Transameri- can Trailer Transport Inc., as 1972 president of the Containerization

Institute, was announced in New

York during the Institute's 12th

Annual Conference at the Ameri- cana Hotel. The announcement was made by outgoing Containeri- zation Institute president Jacques

J. Leblanc, who will serve as chair- man in 1972. Mr. Leblanc is presi- dent of Dart Containerline Inc.

Introducing Mr. Carter to a luncheon gathering of 300 shippers, line executives, forwarders, and equipment suppliers representing a wide cross section of the billion- dollar-plus containerization indus- try, Mr. Leblanc said: "We are indeed fortunate that we will have a man with Mr. Carter's excep- tional qualifications in both lift-on and roll-on containerization at the helm this year when containeriza- tion faces its most profound chal- lenges and opportunities," adding, "Mr. Carter has brought success, innovation, and energy to TTT over the past five years, and we hope to see this fortuitous combi- nation flowing into the affairs of the Containerization Institute in 1972."

Joining TTT in 1967 as execu- tive vice president, Mr. Carter was elected president and chief oper- ating officer in April 1968, shortly after the line's first roll-on vessel, the 26-knot Ponce de Leon, sailed on her maiden voyage to San Juan,

Puerto Rico. The $20-million Ponce de Leon, the world's fastest and largest roll-on trailership, was joined by the Eric K. Holzer, a sister ship, in 1970.

Mr. Carter also serves as chair- man of the executive committee of the Puerto Rico Ocean Service

Association, whose members in- clude Sea-Land, Seatrain, Trans- american Trailer Transport, and

Gulf-Puerto Rico Lines, in the

Puerto Rican trade.

Before joining TTT, Mr. Carter was with United States Lines as general sales manager, where he helped inaugurate the first cellular containership service in the Euro- pean trade in 1966. A former presi- dent of the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Spanish Gov- ernment presented him with a rare- ly bestowed civil medal for his efforts to broaden trade relations.
