Top Executive Changes

Announced By Marco

Marco Seattle has named Bob

McMahon to the position of vice president and general manager of its shipyard division. The an- nouncement was made recently by Marco president Peter G.

Schmidt, who noted that the move was part of a program to bring greater autonomy to the shipyard division in relation to the company's other divisions.

Mr. McMahon is a nine-year veteran with the Seattle ship- builder, fishing systems, and in- dustrial products manufacturer, where he was most recently ship- yard production manager. Mr.

McMahon spent six years in the

U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine fleet prior to joining Marco in 1972.

Mr. Schmidt also announced that Robert F. Allen, Marco's ex- ecutive vice president, has been assigned to San Diego as the ex- ecutive vice president and general manager of Campbell Industries.

Acquired by Marco in 1979, Camp- bell is one of the world's leading builders of tuna superseiners.

The company operates a 35-acre shipyard with approximately 800 employees.

Mr. Allen has held many posi- tions in his 23 years with Marco, most recently as vice president in charge of the company's shipyard and pollution control division.

Along with Mr. Allen's reloca- tion, Mr. Schmidt announced that

Marco vice president D. William

Lerch has been named manager of the pollution control division, the world's leading builder of oil- skimming vessels. Mr. Lerch has held a variety of positions over a 22-year span in engineering and pollution control with Marco.

These have included the posts of chief engineer and general man- ager of a company-operated ship- yard in Chile.

He's ci good reason to get'blasted'in Savannah.

When Leon Martin sandblasts your ship he gets dynamite results.

Leon is a Leaderman in our

Drydock Department. Which means he has two great qualifications.

He's experienced (27 years at

Savannah). And can be rougher than blasting grit about getting a job done right.

That's the kind of spirit you find at Savannah. It's why we're the best yard to do your major conversions, scheduled drydocking, and voyage repairs.

Sure, we're also competitively priced. And blessed with a climate that lets us run full-bore all year.

But without workers like Leon, our great prices and weather wouldn't mean doodly.

If you want a yard that'll really bust its hump on your job, pick up the phone and give us a blast.
