be the first Teleport in the Mediter- ranean.

Genoa is not alone, however, in improving its container handling technology and port facilities. Doz- ens of ports in and around the

Mediterranean and the world are investing millions of dollars in order to capture increasingly important trade routes to the Far East from both Europe and the U.S. West

Coast.

The Port of Genoa, however, has greatly improved its chances through its investments, since it al- ready offers a prime location in the region.

According to Mr. D'Alessandro, the port broke even last year, and expects to earn a profit of about $20 million in 1988. "I firmly believe that we are the masters of our destiny," said Mr.

D'Alessandro. "If we are bold enough to accept technological in- novation, to create competitive con- ditions in a political and social envi- ronment which is not always favor- able to changes, then I think we may claim that our ports are ready to meet the challenge of the 21st Cen- tury. And this is exactly what I've been trying to do," he concluded.

Light Marine Engines

As Power Prestige Line —Literature Available

According to a recent announce- ment, Perkins' range of light com- mercial marine diesel engines have been given a new look. The engines, comprising 16 different units, will now be marketed as Power Pres- tige.

This range includes Perkins' new- est Prima and Perama small diesels, the well-established four and six- cylinder medium-sized Range 4 en- gines and the V8 and V12 units built at Perkins' Shrewsbury (U.K.) fac- tory.

Power Prestige makes a clear sep- aration between Perkins' light com- mercial engines and its range of heavy-duty commercial units known as HD Power.

Perkins' marine sales manager

John Spencer explained that, "Power Prestige reflects our com- mitment to building marine engines tailored to precise market needs. It means the customer knows certain that the engine he is buying has been developed specifically for his kind of use."

Perkins North America, Atlanta,

Ga., has been in the diesel engine market for over 25 years. Perkins offers diesel engines for a wide range of applications, from 10 to 1,200 hp.
