P&O Cruises Unit

Puts Cruise Ship

Up For Sale

P&O Cruises subsidiary Princess

Cruises is reportedly offering the 925-passenger cruise ship Dawn

Princess for sale. Because of its high standard of operation, the 35-year- old ship, which operates out of Los

Angeles, may bring between $35 million to $45 million. Similar aged vessels have been sold for about $18 million.

Princess Cruises also operates the

Fair Princess, a sister ship to the

Dawn Princess, out of Los Angeles.

The two cruise ships were acquired in 1988 when P&O Cruises pur- chased Sitmar Cruises.

Princess Cruises has declined to comment on the price it is seeking on the ship.

SCLR Wins $232,580 Contract

For Cutter Repair

Rogers, Inc. (SCLR) was recently awarded a $232,580 contract for re- pairs to the U.S. Coast Guard cutter

Courageous. This is the third dockside availability of this class ship that SCLR has performed.

Intrinsically I safe.

If all you want in a marine hand- held VHF is portability, maybe the Horizon HX220AS is too good.

Sure it meets the industry guidelines for explosive environ- ment applications. But it also has the punch you get from six watts of transmitting power, full-on microprocessor control, gold bat- tery contacts for reliability, gen- erous moisture protection, and careful, intelligent engineering. lt receives all U.S., Canadian and international channels as well as 10 weather channels, and can be programmed to scan any number or combination of them automatically.

One-touch channel selection as well as direct access to chan- nel 16 and the weather channels is so easy it can be done in heavy gloves. The LCD display is over- sized and backlit. And options like the external speaker/micro- phone which allows hands-free operation make it ideal for tank- ers, tenders and oil rigs.

The HX220AS is a lot of radio in a remarkably small and light- weight package. To find out more about it, or about Stan- dard's intrinsically-safe eight- channel HX340 UHF and VHF handhelds, call or write today.

Just to be on the safe side.

Nothing takes to water like Horizon. §Standard s Communications

Siemens Appoints

New Sales Managers

For Marine Systems

Manfred W. Hanisch

Peter D. Richardson, general manager of Industrial Systems for

Siemens Electric Limited recently announced the appointment of

Manfred W. Hanisch as sales man- ager of power equipment and Reidar

Boen as sales manager for automa- tion equipment for the marine busi- ness in the U.S. marketplace. Both men will be stationed in Alpharetta,

Ga.

Mr. Hanisch, a Siemens em- ployee since 1955, has enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the marine industry. As an electrical engineer, he has pioneered the company's success within the North

American continent for marine elec- trical technology. He has held a variety of positions within the Si- emens organization from project engineer to regional sales manager for marine systems. His appoint- ment to sales manager for power equipment within the marine de- partment follows seven years of suc- cess in Atlantic Canada as regional sales manager for Siemens Indus- trial Systems in Halifax.

Reidar Boen

In 1983, Mr. Boen joined Siemens in Norway as a project engineer to design, install and start-up electri- cal control systems for Norwegian submarines. His experience as a supplier to the Norwegian Navy paved the way for Mr.Boen to mar- ket Siemens' marine electrical tech- nology to the merchant marine in- dustry and by 1989, he had estab- lished a successful marketing orga- nization to serve this market.

Siemens is one of the leading single systems vendors for inte- grated electrical marine systems.
