Imperial And Parkway

Consolidate Operations

Imperial, leading manufacturer of survival suits and equipment, has moved its manufacturing and ad- ministrative offices from Bremer- ton, Wash., to the South Amboy,

N.J., headquarters of its parent company, Parkway Fabricators, Inc.

Parkway, a Great American Indus- tries Company, purchased Imperial 16 months ago. "Consolidation of our manufac- turing operations will increase cost efficiencies and strengthen our product development capabilities as we combine the best technologies of both companies," said Frank

Sanger, president of Parkway/Im- perial. "David Stancil, who has done a tremendous management job for

Imperial over the past year, will continue to serve our sales efforts as

Imperial's West Coast sales man- ager," Mr. Sanger said.

Celebrating its 13th anniversary this year, Imperial is the largest pro- ducer of survival suits in the United

States, and has worked with various governing bodies, including the U.S.

Coast Guard and Underwriters La- boratories, in testing and developing safe standards for 15 years. Imperial is the only U.S. manufacturer of these suits to pass Norwegian Mari- time Directorate standards, known to be the most stringent in the world.

Moore McCormack Plans

Sale Of Its Two Bulk

Shipping Subsidiaries

Moore McCormack Resources,

Inc. of Stamford, Conn., has an- nounced its intention to divest itself of Interlake Steamship Company and Moore McCormack Bulk

Transport. The Interlake fleet con- sists of 10 Great Lakes bulk carriers, mostly self-unloaders; Bulk Trans- port owns three 39,000-dwt tankers delivered by National Steel and

Shipbuilding in 1975-77 for oceangoing service.

The move brings to an end the company's long involvement in the

U.S. shipping industry. Its subsi- dized liner service, Moore McCor- mack Lines, was sold in 1983 to

McLean Industries, Inc., parent company of United States Lines. At the time of its sale, Mormac Lines operated a fleet of 13 cargo ships on trade routes to South America and

Africa.

Another wholly owned subsidiary,

Moore McCormack LNG Trans- port, Inc., recently sold all of the stock of Morgas, Inc. to Panhandle

Eastern Corporation, for $45 million in cash, thereby ending its invest- ment in LNG transportation. The primary asset of Morgas is a 20-per- cent interest in Lachmar Shipping, a partnership that owns two 125,000-cubic-foot LNG tankers, the Lake Charles and the Louisiana, delivered by the Quincy shipyard of

General Dynamics in 1980. "Financial Times' To Issue

Survey On World Ports

On September 26, 1986, the Fi- nancial Times will publish a four- page survey on International Ports.

The survey will look at the rapid pace of innovation the ports have had to maintain to meet growing demands, and will consider recent major investment in fast and effi- cient ways of handling cargo and passengers as the ports compete for trade.

Elsewhere the survey will look at the equipment the major ports have been buying to cope with rapidly changing maritime needs.

Abroad, the survey will ask which are the leading ports in the contain- er sector in Europe, the Far East and North America and how are they developing? Latest handling methods for bulk cargoes and the developments in gas and oil han- dling will be assessed.

Ports have traditionally been cen- ters of organized labor, but changing methods and financial pressures have meant cutbacks and confronta- tion: the survey will consider the impact worldwide, and will profile selected key ports around the world in the major shipping and cargo sec- tors.

The Financial Times publishes more than 250 surveys each year which look at a wide range of topics of interest to the business communi- ty, including countries, regions and specific industries.
