gencies. Since August 1993 when it commenced operations, NRC has responded to more than 50 marine oil spills. NRC provides response coverage in U.S. waters for more than 1,700 vessels. Additionally,

NRC covers 400 barges and 60 fa- cilities and terminals.

Charles Fabrikant, chairman of SEACOR, expressed optimism about NRC's future and the devel- opment of environmental service as an increasingly larger part of

SEACOR's business. He com- mented, "We have confidence in

NRC's management and believe that by integrating NRC and SEACOR and offering customers a broader, more comprehensive product, we will create opportunities for both groups."

Messrs. Jim and Mark Miller, who co-founded NRC with SEACOR, will continue in their present posi- tions as vice chairman and presi- dent of NRC, respectively.

SEACOR and its subsidiaries op- erate a diversified fleet of marine vessels primarily dedicated to sup- porting offshore oil and gas explo- ration and development in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and off- shore West Africa. Services pro- vided by the company's vessels in- clude towing and anchor handling of mobile rigs, delivery of cargo and supplies to offshore rigs and plat- forms, transportation for offshore construction and maintenance, and standby safety support.

AlliedSignal Engines To

Power Hong Kong Ferries

AlliedSignal Engines an- nounced that Austal Ships of Aus- tralia will build a fifth TF40-pow- ered fast ferry for Yet Hing Ma- rine Supplies of Hong Kong. These two turbines will bring the num- ber of AlliedSignal engines power- ing high-speed passenger ferries on Hong Kong/China routes to 10.

The 131-ft. (40-m), TF40-pow- ered catamarans carry 355 pas- sengers, and travel at 40 knots loaded. The speed brings passen- gers to destinations faster and gives operators the potential of additional trips per day, resulting in more revenue from the same route.

AlliedSignal Engines is a de- signer and manufacturer of turbo- prop engines for marine propul- sion and industrial power.
