Annual Show Set For Dei. 2• 1993, in New Orleans, La.

Thousands of workboat and ma- rine trade professionals will gather at the New Orleans Convention Cen- ter December 2-4 to attend the 15th annual International WorkBoat

Show. The show affords a unique opportunity for commercial marine industry insiders to connect with other qualified members of North

America's substantial inland, off- shore and coastal fleets.

The 1993 edition of The Interna- tional WorkBoat Show looks to con- tinue its long-standing tradition as

North America's premier workboat trade show. More than 12,000 at- tendees will be on hand to buy, sell, sample and compare the latest prod- ucts and services, keep up with in- dustry trends, make new business contacts and re-establish old ones.

Attendees will have access to more than 800 booths featuring the en- tire range of commercial marine equipment, services and supplies from across the U.S. and around the world.

Stephen McDonough of The

International WorkBoat Show said, "The 1993 exhibitor base represents a dynamic cross-section of the inte- gral parts of the commercial marine industry. Whether the attendees are looking to build, buy, service or supply, there will be something there for everyone - from electronics to engines and winches to windows.

Whether it's for casinos or crew boats, barges or boom boats, it will all be there on display."

At scheduled seminars, industry experts will address key topics on the latest design elements and tech- nologies that can make today's ves- sels more cost-efficient, including hull lines, materials and construc- tion techniques; propulsion; and on- board computerized control systems.

A special feature at this year's show will be the U.S. Coast Guard's

American Bureau of Shipping (USCG) display and seminars about its Vessel of Opportunity Skimming

System (VOSS) - a modern, high- performance side-fitted single ship oil recovery system designed to be used with a wide range of vessels that may be available to respond to an environmental emergency. In the event of a large oil spill, special vessels and highly-trained person- nel are seldom available quickly or in sufficient numbers. The USCG has adopted the VOSS concept to meet the need for highly-effective, simple, durable and strong equip- ment which can be delivered to a spill site on a single truck or C-130 aircraft, and placed into action al- most immediately to combat oil pol- lution effectively.
