M & S (Marine) Appoints

U.K. And European Agent

F.J. Emond

Murray & Stewart (Marine), the South African ship repair firm with headquarters in Table

Bay Harbour, has taken a fur- ther step toward the consolida- tion of its U.K. and European network of agents and representa- tives. The company has appointed a 37-year-old South African, F.J.

Emond, as their U.K. and Eu- ropean representative. Mr. Emond will be working from the London offices of M & S (Marine)'s U.K. agent, John Bailey.

Mr. Emond is a chartered engi- neer and fellow of the Institute of Marine Engineers. He was pre- viously a chief engineer and then, for six years, a superintendent engineer with Safmarine, for whom he has altogether worked for 16 years. Mr. Emond has ex- tensive experience in both the technical and cost side of vessel repairs, as well as a thorough training in the costs and prob- lems of routine maintenance. He will be primarily responsible for establishing a closer liaison with over 200 U.K. and European cli- ents and potential clients, and will at the same time maintain the closest possible contact be- tween them and the ship repair teams in South Africa whenever a European client's vessel is in

M & S (Marine)'s hands.
