With this superior, high level of dedication to GMDSS available from Raytheon, there is no reason to settle for outdated products, even if they come assembled in a pretty console. Raytheon can provide your com- plete ultra-modern GMDSS installation with maximum flexibility for bulkhead, table top or console mounting, for retrofits or new construction.

As a world leader in research and develop- ment of military electronics, Raytheon is on the cutting edge of today's most advanced technology. For five years we have worked very closely with JRC, ship owners, opera- tors and crew members to determine the most functional, easy-to-use, ultra-reliable designs for GMDSS products. As a result, no other company can match the level of sophistication and the commitment to excellence that are part of every product we offer.

Our GMDSS equipment is type approved in some countries already, and approvals are pending in others, all over the world.

But, wherever you sail with GMDSS from

Raytheon aboard, you have the added con- fidence that comes from being protected by the world's largest, most experienced, marine electronics service network.

Seaway Trade Mission

Visits Europe

Fourteen businessmen represent- ing Great Lakes/Seaway maritime shipping interests recently travelled to Northern, Central and Eastern

Europe to stimulate new trade op- portunities for their region. These people are delegates of the 1992 St.

Lawrence Seaway Trade Mission, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Saint Lawrence

Seaway Development Corporation.

U.S. Seaway Administrator

Stanford E. Parris, who led the delegation of Canadians and Ameri- cans, stated that the goal of the mission was to increase the volume of imports and exports shipped from and to North America via the Great

Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Sys- tem. The delegation included ex- ecutives of carrier companies, ter- minal operators, ship and cargo bro- kers, exporters and importers, and port authorities located along the

U.S. and Canadian waterway.

Rapid Rise In Exports

From US To Middle East

Ships bound for the Middle East are leaving U.S. ports fully laden and often leaving cargo behind. This sudden rise in exports started in mid-January causing shipments to the area to be 40 percent to 50 per- cent higher than normal.

The demand for these exports from the U.S. is up because Kuwait is preparing to reinstate its import taxes, and Kuwaiti companies are trying to import as much as possible before the taxes go into effect. 105
