Hornblower Dining Yachts has acquired Mar- ina Cruise Line from Real Property Manage- ment, the largest holder of real estate and marine properties in Marina del Rey. Located at

City of San Francisco, is being built for this loca- tion.

Unitor Introduces Nonpollutant

Cleaner 'Enviroclean,' Developed

Jointly By Gamlen And Perolin

The Norwegian firm Unitor Ships Service AS recently introduced a newly developed water- based cleaner for onboard usage. The new prod- uct, called 'Enviroclean,' was developed jointly by Gamlen and Perolin as part of Unitor's marine chemical program.

Enviroclean has been developed without the use of petroleum or chlorinated solvents, using all natural citrus oil solvents linked with an advanced scientific surface active agent formu- lation. It is an all-purpose engine-room cleaner degreaser, cargo tank cleaner, and general pur- pose degreaser.

Unitor describes Enviroclean as nontoxic, completely biodegradable, no flash point, non- polluting, pleasant odor, suitable for oily water separators, and splits into an oil/water phase after cleaning. The company states further that

Enviroclean is a right step toward providing complete safety to the environment and persons handling marine chemicals.
