Their dura- bility has been demonstrated over decades of service on ocean-going vessels ranging from naval warships to com- mercial vessels. Military specifications have required extensive testing for many of these whistles and the accessories supplied with them, which have proven the exceptional qualities of Kahlenberg design and manufac- turing.

Fender Care To Focus On

Houston

Craig Pharo, most recently sales manager for the Americas for

Fender Care Ltd. of Norfolk,

England, will be relocating to

Houston to join the latest addition to the Fender Care Group, Fender

Care U.S.A. Inc. As the shipping industry reflects the current oil boom, Mr. Pharo expects that there will be a need for more fend- ers since additional FPSOs will be in service and new drilling vessels are being built. In the U.K. some 65 percent of Fender Care busi- ness is port-related while 80 per- cent of U.S. work is currently off- shore. Mr. Pharo said this is liable to change over the next 12 months and result in a balanced ratio of business. While Mr. Pharo has spent the last two years in the

U.K., returning to the U.S. and being on the spot will allow a much better servicing of customers and increased opportunity to find new areas where Fender Care products and services can be used.
