Seminar On Shipping

Fraud Prevention Slated

For New York June 26-27

The recent growth of shipping fraud has been almost staggering.

Certainly the threat that such frauds pose to individual compa- nies—whether shippers, shipown- ers, brokers, freight forwarders, insurers, or bankers—is very real and worrying.

In May last year the United

Kingdom's Institute of Chartered

Shipbrokers held in London the first seminar of fraud prevention, attracting wide European support and interest. On June 26-27 this year, at the Waldorf-Astoria Ho- tel in New York, the Institute will hold the second international sem- inar in cooperation with the As- sociation of Ship Brokers and

Agents (USA) Inc. This seminar will study both the problem and the ways in which managements can best prevent their companies from being unwittingly involved in these financially damaging in- ternational swindles.

Edward Kaune To Be

General Manager Of

Todd-San Francisco

Capt. Edward Kaune

Capt. Edward Kaune, USN (ret.), now serving as assistant general manager, has been se- lected to succeed Harrison G.

Rowe as general manager of the

San Francisco Division of Todd

Shipyards Corporation, upon his retirement on August 1, 1980.

Carl R. Meurk, vice president-

West Coast Operations of Todd

Shipyards Corporation, stated

Mr. Rowe had served the San

Francisco Division in positions of ever - increasing responsibility with dedication and skill for 32 years, and the corporation will be fortunate to retain his services in a consulting capacity after his formal retirement.

In addition to this organization change, Richard Grothen, pres- ently operations manager of the

Seattle Division, will be trans- ferred to San Francisco as assist- ant general manager for admin- istration, a position that will com- plement the position of assistant general manager for production, held by James Arrol.

Mr. Meurk further stated that

Tracy Ball has been appointed general superintendent, replacing

William Mitchell who is retiring, and that Dick Gerdes has been appointed assistant to the gen- eral manager for commercial busi- ness development.

These organizational changes will place the San Francisco Di- vision in a more advantageous po- sition to be able to handle the expected increase in U.S. Navy repair and overhaul work, as well as increased commercial work, in the years to come.
