Hitachi Zosen Selects

Argo Marine As U.S. Agent

For Engine Parts Sales

Hitachi Zosen Corporation, a large worldwide supplier of marine manufacturing and engineering products, recently selected Argo

Marine, a division of Argo Interna- tional Corporation, to be one of its agents for marine diesel engine re- placement parts sales in the U.S.

Argo will promote Hitachi Zosen's replacements parts sales, especially for diesel engine parts manufac- tured by the Japanese firm under licensing agreements with Sulzer,

MAN B&W, and others. "We are delighted to cooperate with Hitachi Zosen in the United

States," said Thomas J. Calic- chio, vice president of Argo Marine. "Hitachi Zosen is an excellent com- pany with products that sell into more than 60 countries. Argo Ma- rine is a natural choice since we maintain 20 strategically located, fully stocked warehouses through- out the United States."

Argo also represents the General

Electric Company, Siemens Corpo- ration, and several other manufac- turers of marine and related equip- ment.

Major Growth Predicted

For World Cruise Market

At the recent Holidays at Sea

Convention in London, an optimis- tic forecast was made that by the end of the century the world cruise market will have jumped from the present 3.7 million to 10 million pas- sengers.

Jim Godsman, president of the industry's trade association in the

U.S., Cruise Lines International As- sociation, told the conference that in terms of money the industry had a $50 billion business opportunity over the next five years.

The number of first-time cruisers was an encouraging sign. A study in 1986 showed that they accounted for 38 percent of all business. Two years later, this had grown to 44 per- cent, and this year the figure was 50 percent, according to Mr. Gods- man.
