License Agreements With

Japanese, Russians

MAN B&W Diesel, Holeby in

Denmark has entered into license agreements with Niigata Engineer- ing Co., Japan, and Bryansk Engi- neering Works, Russia, for the pro- duction of the Holeby heavy fuel 23 & 28 series gensets covering the output range from 500- to 4,000- kW.

The license agreement with

Niigata Engineering Co. is made on the basis of a manufacturing agree- ment established in 1990, with

Niigata as the engine producer and the marketing of the genset per- formed in cooperation with MAN

B&W Japan Ltd.

During the three years since the initial agreement, MAN B&W/

Niigata has won orders for 65 gensets to be placed on both foreign and domestic newbuildings.

Bryansk Engineering Works has been in cooperation with MAN B&W

Diesel since 1961 when the produc- tion of two-stroke propulsion en- gines started.

MAN B&W entered into this new- est license agreement with Bryansk

Engineering Works in anticipation of shipbuilding activity in Russia and the Ukraine.

APL Signs Up For Safety

Management Certification

American President Lines (APL) has signed up with Det Norske

Veritas (DNV) to have a minimum of 10 vessels certified for DNV's

Safety Environmental Protection (SEP).

DNVs SEP program is now in its fourth year, and more than 120 cli- ents internationally have signed certification contracts. APL is DNVs eighth North American client.

Companies and vessels certified under the SEP program as a mini- mum fully comply with the Interna- tional Safety Management (ISM)

Code which is expected to become a new chapter in the SOLAS Conven- tion, and will be mandatory for all vessels starting in 1998. Addition- ally, SEP encompasses elements of the ISO 9000 series, all relevant international maritime conventions (MARPOL, STCW, SOLAS, etc.), and DNVs Loss Control Principles, making SEP a management tool for quality improvement.

Chemical Tankers of America (CTA) of Houston, the first company certified to SEP in North America, have been named Union Carbide

Corp.'s "Supplier of the Year." SEP is reportedly one of the contributing factors in improving CTA's perfor- mance to attain this award.
