The Executive Committee of the Marine Sec- tion, National Safety Council, held its first 1973 meeting in the offices of the American Bureau of Shipping, New York City. Almost the com- plete slate of elected officers in the 1973 Ma- rine Section Executive Committee headed by their new general chairman, Capt. Hewlett R.

Bishop, president, National Cargo Bureau, Inc., were present. The prospects for even better

Marine Section Safety Conference Meetings in the future were made brighter by the discus- sion held and programs announced that are to be implemented during the remainder of the year.

Captain Bishop was recently cited for dis- tinguished contribution to maritime safety and other activities by the United States Coast

Guard, which tendered him its Distinguished

Public iService Award. The citation, presented to Captain Bishop by Coast Guard Comman- dant Adm. Chester R. Bender, is the highest civilian award of the Government agency.

Norwegian Firm Receives

Large Order To Supply

U.S. Shipbuilding Industry

Norwegian computer firms—tiny by interna- tional standards—are winning important foreign orders.

In February 1973, a contract—believed to be one of the biggest ever in the commercial soft- ware field — was signed between Shipping Re- search Services A/S-SRS-Oslo, and the United

States Government represented by the Maritime

Administration. The contract allows the Mari- time Administration to market the Autokon-71 ship design system throughout the U.S. shipbuild- ing industry. The agreement also includes the

Prelikon programs for design calculations.

In the United States, the first generation of the

Autokon system was acquired by General Dy- namics Corporation as early as 1966, followed by

Litton Industries in 1968, and Seatrain Shipbuild- ing Corporation in 1970. In 1972, the Autokon-71 system was sold to Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.

Now the Maritime Administration has acquired exclusive rights in U.S. territory. American shipyards will acquire rights to the system as sublicensees under contract with the Maritime

Administration.

Three major shipyard companies have already taken a sublicense for this new generation of

Autokon—namely Todd Shipyards Corporation,

Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and General Dy- namics Corporation.
