McDermott Scotland Is

Awarded $150 Million

In Offshore Contracts

McDermott Scotland, a division of McDermott International, Inc., the major overseas marine con- struction subsidiary of McDer- mott Incorporated, has recently been awarded three contracts with a total value of more than $150 million.

These contracts call for: • Fabrication of the 15,000- metric-ton topside facilities for

Conoco U.K. Ltd.'s Hutton Pro- ject, the world's first tension-leg platform. McDermott has already fabricated the subsea drilling template for this project. Tension leg platforms are floating plat- forms tethered to the seafloor.

Their use opens opportunities for developing petroleum reserves in extremely deep waters, reserves that had been technically impos- sible or uneconomical to develop using conventional means. The contract is scheduled to be com- pleted in the spring of 1983. • Fabrication of the 1,500- metric-ton power generation mod- ule for Marathon Oil U.K. Ltd.'s

Brae Field platform. The module will contain four electrical genera- ting units with an output of 20 megawatts per unit and their controls. Completion is scheduled for April 1982. McDermott Scot- land is also fabricating the 21,000- metric-ton jacket and 36 piles with 84-inch diameters for the

Brae Field platform. • Fabrication of 5,000 metric tons of piling for Mobil North Sea

Ltd.'s Beryl "B" platform. Mc-

Dermott Scotland is fabricating 36 piles 72 inches in diameter, which are scheduled to be com- pleted by the spring of 1983.

McDermott Incorporated is a leading international energy ser- vices company. The company and its subsidiaries provide engineer- ing and construction services to the offshore oil and gas industry, and manufacture steam generat- ing equipment, tubular products, insulating products, and auto- mated machine tools.

International Paint Enters

Korean Coatings Market

International Paint Company, with U.S. headquarters in Union,

N.J., and manufacturing centers in New Orleans and San Fran- cisco, recently entered a joint venture with the Seoul, Korea- based Daihan Ink & Paint Com- pany. The merger is now regis- tered as International Paint (Korea) Ltd.

The venture was formed in or- der to effectively service Korea's large and growing market for heavy-duty paints, particularly those designated for marine new- buildings, repair and mainte- nance, and freight containers.

International Paint (Korea)

Ltd. is currently producing a wide spectrum of marine and other heavy-duty coatings. Although

Korea is one of the world's ma- jor container manufacturing, shipbuilding, and drydocking cen- ters, local paint manufacturers have rarely offered products meet- ing worldwide specification and technical standards.

The formation of International

Paint (Korea) Ltd., now makes it possible for all International

Paint customers—with shipbuild- ing, drydocking, and container manufacturing operations — to specify and obtain uniform prod- uct quality coupled with expert technical service guidance. This is the same high level product and service offered to Interna- tional Paint customers through- out the world.

Which VHF radio thinks, points, talks and has never been duplicated?

There is only one.

The Regency Polaris NC7200.

There's nothing else like it.

And there may never be.

You see, we own a 47 page patent on this radio, which means we can offer you some very unique advantages. For example, what VHF transceiver is smart enough to guide you into port on a stormy night, navigate to another ship, or help you set a course just by using weather stations, coastal stations or marine operators? Only one.

Next consider how many VHF radios offer you computer control with three separate operating memories, all the VHF channels, a scanning receiver, four weather channels plus priority-yet are actually easy to use. Just one.

Now here's the icing on the cake. Which VHF radio was voted number one in its class for performance and reliability by the nation's marine electronics dealers (and that includes the guys who sell competitor's products) after just one year on the market? Still only one.

It's called the Regency

Polaris NC7200. We make it in America. We're very proud of it. And it can be yours for $1395*. ^Manufacturer's suggested retail price.
