Shield into a maintenance vessel for

Swire Pacific Offshore; jumboization of an offshore workbarge, Subtec 2; and building of a multi-purpose barge for Dragomar International

De-Bug Controls Microbes

In Diesel Fuel

A fuel treatment purported to be environmentally safe while elimi- nating microbial growth in diesel fuel, has been developed in New

Zealand by a consortium of fuel in- jection specialists, marine survey- ors and engineers. The fuel treat- ment unit utilizes the technology of magnetic fields to break down the microbial growth to the extent that the debris can freely pass through the normal fuel filter elements and be burned in the engine.

The fuel treatment unit, offered under the brand name De-Bug, has been successfully marketed in Great

Britain, New Zealand, Australia,

Malaysia, UK, France and Japan since 1986. It is now being made available in the U.S. For free infor- mation on De-Bug from Mark Engi- neering,
