MacArtney Offshore MD Appointed

  29/04/2008
Chris Howerter is very happy to be named as Lars Hansen's successor as General Manager of MacArtney Offshore, Inc. in Houston, Texas. Lars Hansen will be returning to Denmark in August. Until then, Chris Howerter will train for the position as the Deputy General Manager.
 

Chris Howerter received his Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. From there, he began his career as a Mechanical Design Engineer with Oceaneering Space Systems at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. He was involved in the design, manufacturing, and testing of astronaut tools and logistics equipment for International Space Station construction. He also worked for Oceaneering International's Remote Projects Engineering group on various deepwater work class ROV upgrades.

 

After five years, Chris Howerter took a position as Project Manager with Astro Technology Inc. of Houston, TX. While there, he directed manufacturing, testing, and installation of two cutting-edge fiber optic deepwater riser monitoring systems in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Much of the infrastructure hardware for these projects was procured through MacArtney Off­shore. He gained extensive knowledge of deep­water high pressure environments and their effects on various technologies, as well as management of projects in the offshore oil and gas industry. At the end of those projects, he briefly returned to Oceaneering as a Project Engineer, where he managed several NASA projects and business development proposals.

 

In March, 2008, he accepted the challenge of filling Lars Hansen's shoes in Houston.

MCA on Surveying the British Coast

Rob Spillard explains how the MCA is conducting hydrographic surveys, including the history of British hydrographic surveying, latest developments in technology and wreck research projects, sometimes accompanied by a BBC TV camera crew. This movie includes an example of the discovery of two sunken WWI submarines off the Orkney Islands.
