Advanced Marine Enterprises Inc. recently announced the appointment of John A. Malagraph as general manager of their newly opened New York office, located at 170 Broadway.

Prior to joining Advanced Marine Enterprises Inc., Mr. Malagraph spent 12 years with Designers & Planners Inc. (formerly a subsidiary of Todd Shipyards), holding various management positions, including treasurer.

Advanced Marine's New York office joins the other highly successful naval architecture, management science, and marine and ocean engineering offices located at Arlington and Virginia Beach, Va., San Diego, Calif., and Philadelphia, Pa.

Since the start of its operations in mid-1981, the New York office has successfully completed jobs for Barge Music, Ltd.; Braswell Shipyards, Inc.; Department of Marine & Aviation, City of New York; and Marine Design & Operations. With this modest beginning, supported by the large resources of the other divisions, the New York office is expected to be self sustaining within one year.

Advanced Marine is currently serving the Naval Sea Systems Command; Military Sealift Command; U.S. Coast Guard; and a number of major shipyards including Ingalls, General Dynamics, Quincy, and Norfolk Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. Advanced Marine's most recent award was the multiyear, multimillion-dollar engineering support contract with PMS-383 (NAVSEA Acquisition Manager for Auxiliary Ships).
