Services, Inc. and prior to that with

Earl and Wright Consulting Engi- neers and King-Wilkinson, Inc.

Mr. Domingue has more than 20 years of construction supervision experience with offshore and on- shore oilfield construction of plat- forms and pipelines, including as- signments in the U.S., the North

Sea, and Saudi Arabia.

These include project execution and project control through monitoring and reporting of cost control, sched- ule control, and quality control.

Subsidy Board Will Let

Subsidized Bulkers

Haul Preference Cargoes

The Maritime Subsidy Board of the Maritime Administration will permit subsidy-aided bulk carriers to compete for preference cargoes without subsidy. The ruling will mean greater competition that should lead to lower bids and de- creased costs to the government for shipping cargoes.

The MSB said there should be further savings in operating differ- ential subsidy payments as subsi- dized ship operators forego ODS in order to carry preference cargoes at fair and reasonable rates. Previous- ly, these operators had been ex- cluded from the preference trades.

Vickers Group Awarded $720-Million Royal Navy

Order To Build Submarines

The Cammell Laird subsidiary of

Vickers Shipbuilding has been awarded a $432-million contract by the Ministry of Defence to construct three diesel-electric submarines for the Royal Navy. Vickers itself got a $288-million order to build one nu- clear-powered sub.

Some 800 jobs could be created at the Merseyside yard as Cammell

Laird approaches the peak of the submarine construction within the next two or three years. The con- tract for Vickers Shipbuilding will insure continued employment for the 12,500 work force at the Barrow- in-Furness shipyard.

BFGoodrich Offers

Brochure On Cutless

Line Of Rubber Bearings

The complete line of Cutless® brand rubber bearings is the subject of a new two-color, four-page bro- chure from BFGoodrich of Akron,

Ohio. Featuring an exclusive water wedge design and broad application flexibility, Cutless rubber bearings are a product of years of research and development by BFGoodrich and Lucian Q. Moffitt, Inc.

The bearings' water wedge design provides maximum lubrication for both bearing and shaft. Tough but resilient, rubber bearings are resis- tant to oil, grease, and most chemi- cal solutions, and have a very low coefficient of friction when wet. Ide- al for marine and industrial applica- tions, they are said to last many times longer than hard-surfaced bearings.

Particularly helpful in this new brochure are details of Cutless brand bearings designs. Bearings are available with either metal or non-metallic shells. Those with metal backing come in either a full- molded style of solid or split design, or in a segmented style. Also avail- able is information on BFGoodrich's recently patented FE (fiberglass epoxy) bearing.
