Centralize Management

In Santa Barbara, Calif.

A sub- stantial sales and purchasing staff will remain in the Houston office, which will continue to function as a major U.S. representation office of Oceaneering.

Management believes that the cost of the move will not have a material adverse effect on Ocean- eering's financial position and, moreover, that the benefits of the centralization will more than outweigh the initial costs and temporary disruption which may result.

At Chotin we maintain the most up to date fleet of towboats and barges in the United States. The fear of contamination from other liquids in the same barge or from water seepage that is common with older, poorly maintained equipment is eliminated when you ship with Chotin.

Chotin provides reliable, safe, uncontaminated delivery of your chemical or petroleum cargo anywhere along the inland waterway system, Gulf of Mexico or east coast.

Chotin makes sure that what you ship is what they get. Call us for your next shipment (504) 581-4666.
