folds are cooled by sea water. En- gine compartments were insulated at the deck and bulkheads to reduce noise.

Electronics aboard the Phoenix

III include a Regency Model 7200

VHF/ADF, Furuno FCV-661 depth finder, LC-90 loran, and FCR-904 radar; Si-Tex DT-2 depth sounder; and a Federal PA-300M siren.

One mission of the boat will be to speed rafts to passengers who eva- cuate downed airplanes into the water. The boat carries 20 MRP-10S

Switlik rescue platform type inflata- ble rafts on forward and aft decks.

Munson designed and built a trailer capable of launching the boat in salt water. The three-axle trailer is galvanized and its bearings and brakes are salt-water corrosion re- sistant.

New Joint Venture Formed

For China's International

Maritime Exhibition

The Cahners Exposition Group (CEG) and the Seatrade Organisa- tion recently announced the forma- tion of a joint venture company to organize China's international mari- time exhibition, "Marintec China" and "Marintec Offshore China," which has been held in Shanghai every two years since 1981. The event is held in cooperation with the

Shanghai Society of Naval Architec- ture & Marine Engineering (SNAME).

CEG's and Seatrade's extensive worldwide network of offices and agents will combine to promote and develop the scope of the event inter- nationally and in China.

A major international conference will take place at the same time as the exhibition, bringing together a wide range of sea transportation ex- perts from the business as well as the technical communities.

The Seatrade Organisation has its own strong links with the People's

Republic of China and publishes the

Chinese language magazine "Mari- time China" in association with the

China Ocean Shipping Company, and with the support of the Minis- try of Communications.

Marintec China and Marintec

Offshore China will next be held at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre,

People's Republic of China, from

November 28 to December 2,1989.

In Braithwaite, La.

With contracts totaling more than $2.5 million, Nola Centurion

From their 30-acre site at Mile 80.7 on the Mississippi River, Nola

One current contract includes the complete refurbishing of 112 barges of a 515-barge fleet operated by For- est Lines, Inc. of New Orleans. "Even though we're located on the river, we don't want people to think we're limited to marine construc- tion," said Joe Martin, vice-presi- dent of operations. "We support a wide range of industries—petro- chemical, marine, and commercial construction. We perform mainte- nance, fabrication and construction projects throughout the river par- ishes. Our facilities allow us to transport by rail and truck as well as by the river."

Past contracts for the petrochem- ical industry have included mainte- nance, fabrication and construction work.
