Chicago Bridge & Iron

And Hitachi Form

Company In LNG Field

Hitachi Zosen (Hitachi Shipbuild- ing & Engineering Co., Ltd.) and

Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, (CBI) of the United States have announced the formation on March 1, 1973, of Hitachi Zosen CBI Ltd., a joint venture incorporated in

Japan.

One of the most urgent problems confronting the world today is the energy crisis.

Hitachi Zosen CBI Ltd. hopes to help work toward the solution of this gigantic problem by designing manufacturing, marketing and servicing (1) facilities and equip- ment for 'the transportation and storage of crude oil, LPG and

LNG; (2) liquefication and vapor- ization apparatuses, and (3) oth- er plant equipment. The new com- pany will draw upon the vast store of technology and resources of CBI and Hitachi Zosen.

From CBI, the new company will receive proprietary technology and specialized knowledge in the fields of energy, cryogenics and the produc- tion of high temperature and' high pressure vessels. Hitachi Zosen will provide facilities, distribution chan- nels, goodwill, management, staff and technical personnel, and workers skill- ed in production and construction.

Hitachi Zosen CBI Ltd. will func- tion in a spirit of mutual trust and cooperation based on the technology, specialized knowledge, personnel and facilities furnished by the two parent companies.

Appoints Mortimer

Smokey the Bear he ain't. But he has been known to stomp some butts.

Billy Foran is a good old boy.

But he's in the habit of getting the job done and done on time.

He's been doing it for the last quarter of a century as our

General Superintendent. He's helped make us the place in this part of the world for every kind of work from voyage repairs to major conversions.

We're not the biggest on this seaboard, but we manage to make a lot of Yankees come down here for their work.

The fact that we can work 365 days a year without having to thaw out doesn't hurt either.

Good work. Good town.

Good climate. And Billy.

Good reasons to let us show you what we can do.

Ocean Structures Study

To Be Given Sept. 17-22

At U of C—Berkeley

A concentrated six-day course, "Structures in the Ocean," dealing with the analysis, design, behavior and implementation of fixed and floating structures of steel and con- crete in hostile seas, will be given

September 17-22, 1973, by Continu- ing Education in Engineering and the College of Engineering at-the

University of 'California, Berkeley.

It is intended for professional engineers, offshore constructors, oceanographers, designers, engi- neering managers, and others. Top- ics will include the nature of hos- tile environments, the forces gen- erated in them, and the gross re- sponse of structures exposed to them; optimal configurations for fixed and floating structures, in- cluding underwater storage vessels and cais'son-type platform's; con- struction procedures and tech- niques, launching, 'mobility, be- havior during transportation^ in- stallation, founding and sea-bottom conditions, stability, and safety.

The course steering committee consists of four Berkeley faculty members : Jack G. Bouwkamp, Ben

C. Gerwick Jr. and Robert L. Wie- gel, all 'professors of civil engineer- ing, and J. Randolph Paulling Jr., professor of naval architecture.
