Annual CIMARE Meeting

Scheduled For May 8-10

At Hyatt Hotel In Montreal

The Canadian Institute of Marine

Engineers (CIMARE) will hold its

Annual General Meeting and Sev- enth Annual Technical Conference,

Mari-Tech '85, at the Hyatt Regen- cy Hotel in Montreal on May 8-10.

It will be hosted by the St. Lawrence

Branch of Montreal.

CIMARE, a nationwide organiza- tion with more than 1,500 members from all provinces of Canada, and with many U.S. and worldwide members, was established to foster the needs and goals of all people associated with the oceans, seas, and inland waterways.

The theme of Mari-Tech '85, "Safety in the Marine Industry," will be addressed by authors of 14 technical papers covering all aspects of marine safety, from regulations to salvage to rescue operations. As this theme is paramount in the minds of all marine-oriented parties, the con- ference should be well attended by operators, owners, and government officials from throughout Canada and, hopefully, from the U.S. and abroad.

Luncheons with guest speakers are scheduled for May 9 and 10; the conference will conclude with a Din- ner-Dance on the night of May 10. 'IttlHlfMiHilllMBI'tji.PmMB!

Announcing the strongest, smartest, > stablest, biggest little semi in offshore.

Finally. The Gulf has a semi it can call its own. The

GranGulf.™

Not a semi built for hos- tile environments, but one designed specifically for conditions like the Gulfs.

With a displacement of 23,140 tons. A variable deck load of 4,000 tons. And a moored water depth of 2,000 feet plus.

Per pound of steel, GranGulf will carry more deck load, drill in deeper water, provide a more stable drilling platform, change locations faster and ride storm waves better than semis with equivalent displacement.

No other semi has the GranGulfs unique | pontoon design, either. 1

The design is so advanced and so stable, it's being patented.

GranGulf. The semi design that maximizes payload, minimizes dis- placement and optimizes drilling opportunities. The design that epitomizes

Marathon LeTourneau's continual search for better ways to reach new drilling opportunities.
