A BS Americas MovesTo Larger Quarters

The American Bureau of Shipping(ABS) has moved its ABS Americashead office into an eight-story build-ing in north Houston.

ABS now has offices in the 150,000-square-foot building formerly occu-pied by Anadarko Petroleum Corp.ABS’ address is 168555 NorthchaseDr., Houston, Texas, 77060-6008. Thetelephone number is (713) 873-0700,and the Fax number is (713) 874-9551.ABS Americas previously maintainedoffices close to the current building.

"Houston’s qualified labor source,with its technical expertise, lowoperating costs and attractive qualityof life, were original factors in themove, and our experience to datehas supported this decision," saidABS Chairman Frank Iarossi. "By thesame token, we believe the establish-ment of ABS Americas in Houstonwill enhance the city’s image as theworld’s offshore technology centerand strengthen its position as a cen-ter of ship technology as well."ABS Functions

The Houston office of ABS Americascontrols all ABS activities in North,Central and South America. ABS Amer-icas is one of the bureau’s threemarine operation divisions.

ABS is an international ship classi-fication society that establishes andadministers standards for the design,construction and operational main-tenance of ships, offshore mobileand site-dependent platforms andother marine structures.
