Richard H. Beuthel
Named APL Seattle
General Manager & VP
American President Lines has announced the appointment of
Richard H. Beuthel as general manager in Seattle, Wash., for the
American Mail Line Division of
APL. Previously vice president- marketing for AML, Mr. Beuthel has also been named a vice presi- dent of APL.
The appointment follows the re- cent merger of the Seattle-based
American Mail Line into American
President Lines.
As general manager, Mr. Beuthel will coordinate the administration of the division's operations and ac- tivities in the Pacific Northwest.
He will report directly to the pres- ident of APL. Major functional responsibilities will continue to re- main with the respective head- quarters in San Francisco, 'Calif.
The position of general manager is designed to provide top manage- ment representation in AML's area of operations, and to insure its functions are effectively coordina- ted with San Francisco headquar- ters.
In addition to the Seattle-area facilities, Mr. Beuthel will oversee divisional operations and activities in Portland, Ore., and in APL's
Vancouver, British Columbia sub- sidiary, Trans-Pacific Steamship
Agencies, Ltd.
Mr. Beuthel's assignment also includes an active participation in the continuing longer range plan- ning for overall company opera- tions.
With American Mail Line since 1967, Mr. Beuthel served in the
U.S. Navy for three and a half years. He received a B.A. degree from Miami University in Oxford,
Ohio. He attended the Graduate
Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland for one year on a Rotary Fellowship, and received an M.B.A. degree (1959) from Harvard, where he studies foreign trade and transportation.

Western Gear Gets
Pipe Tensioning Order
For European Barges
New generation pipe tensioners and related auxiliary equipment val- ued at nearly $4 million have been ordered from Western Gear Corpo- ration, Lynwood, Calif., for installa- tion aboard two advanced-concept pipelaying barges under construction in Germany and Holland.
The patented Pipemaster pipe ten- sioning systems were ordered by So- ciete Ent'repose-G.T.M. (EPTM) of
Paris, for their derrick lay barge,
EPTM 1601, and by I.H.C. Gusto
N.V., of Schiedam, Holland, for the
Viking Consortium.
Each of the tensioners being manu- factured by Western Gear's Heavy
Machinery Division at Everett,
Wash., is of the proprietary track- type, developing more than 200,000 pounds of pulling force. The ma- chinery will be installed aboard the new barges for operation in tandem.
Delivery scheduled later this year will bring to 35 the number of Pipe- master pipe tensioners ordered from
Western Gear since the development of deepwater lay techniques in recent years. . marine insurance
