Harland and Wolff Ltd. of Bel- fast, Northern Ireland, and M.A.N. (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-

Nurnberg Aktiengesellschaft) of

Augsburg, in the Federal Repub- lic of Germany, have entered into an agreement covering the pro- duction and sale of medium-speed engines of M.A.N, design.

A new company, named Har- land-M.A.N. Engines Limited, is being registered in Belfast and will be responsible for marketing and after sales service of all en- gines of M.A.N, design produced in Belfast under the provisions of a license agreement signed be- tween M.A.N, and Harland and

Wolff Ltd. Both parent companies have a substantial investment in

Harland-M.A.N. Limited.

The purpose behind the estab- lishment of the new company is to provide Harland and Wolff Ltd. with information for the produc- tion of medium-speed diesel en- gines and components and to pro- vide M.A.N, with access to the

U.K. market and other countries.

The new range of engines to be built by Harland and Wolff Ltd. will augment and be complemen- tary to the diesel and steam ma- rine propulsion units which have traditionally comprised the great- er proportion of the work at the

Belfast engine works. The M.A.N.- type four-stroke engines, which cover an output range from ap- proximately 1,500 hp (1,100 kw) up to 32,000 hp (24,000 kw) are suitable for both main and auxil- iary marine diesel installations and for stationary powerplants.

Harland and Wolff Ltd. has one of the largest and best equipped shipyards and engine works in Eu- rope. The company was founded in 1853, and thus has a long tra- dition in shipbuilding and ma- rine engine building. Harland and

Wolff Ltd. employs approximately 9,000 persons. Last year, it had sales of some £65 million.

M.A.N, is one of the most out- standing mechanical engineering companies in Europe, with an an- nual turnover of some DM 4,800 million in 1976-77. The M.A.N, group employs approximately 46,000 persons.

We're making history again.

Bay-Houston announces the C.R. Haden, a brand new 3,200 horsepower tug with power to spare for tow- ing, maneuvering and docking the largest vessels using Texas Gulf ports. Twin screws with Kort nozzles assure quick response to tow conditions in open harbors, narrow channels or turning basins.

We've come a long way since 1880 when Captain W.D. Haden's towpath operation along upper Gal- veston Bay made us the first harbor towing company in the Houston area.

Whatever your towing needs, call Bay-Houston. We have the know-how and power with more than 90 years experience. It's a record of leadership in towing. BAY HOUSTON TOWING CO.
