Isherwood Initiates

Planned Maintenance For

Oil Rig Supply Boats

Federal Offshore Services Ltd.,

Halifax, and Sir Joseph W. Isher- wood & Co. Ltd., have completed the installation of the A-MAR-Z total system of maintenance and spares control on four offshore oil rig service boats.

The announcement was made in New York by Stuart S. Danoff, president of Common Brothers

U.S.A. Ltd., Isherwood's repre- sentative in the United States.

Mr. Danoff said that this was believed to be the first such planned maintenance system ap- plied to the oil rig supply field.

Included is a monthly mainte- nance schedule for each of the four vessels, as well as strict con- trol of spare parts. On this latter point, Mr. Danoff commented : "Offshore oil rig supply boats are so small and operate in such rough waters that it is important that they carry only what is immedi- ately needed. "The multi-phased operation,"

Mr. Danoff noted, "is so tailored that repairs and maintenance are carried by both sea staff and the owner's shoreside repair facility.

With the growth of offshore oil exploration," Mr. Danoff summed up, "we believe this development has widespread application world- wide."

Further information on the

A-MAR-Z system is available without cost from Common Broth- ers U.S.A. Ltd., Suite 819, 61

Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10006.
