When 20-year-old Danish blacksmith Vilhelm Petersen sailed into Boston Harbor, little did he know that his journey would lead to the establishment of American Tool Companies, Inc. In 1902, "Bill" Petersen settled in Minden, Nebraska, where he worked for a fellow Danish blacksmith, keeping horses shod, plow shares sharpened and wagons repaired. Bill Petersen was an inventor at heart. With the introduction of the automobile and farm tractor, blacksmithing was on the decline. During the long Nebraska winters, Petersen experimented with his ideas. In 1921, he invented and patented a unique wrench with a "vise-like" grip. By 1924, Petersen had refined his invention by adding a locking lever. He patented the enhanced tool and gave it an innovative name that would become world famous: VISE-GRIP® locking pliers. He registered the distinctive clasped hands logo, a symbol that today represents the most recognized hand tool brand in the world. American Tool Companies, Inc., led by Allen Petersen, the founder’s grandson, has evolved into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of hand tools, cutting tools and power tool accessories. The company has more than 4,400 employees and manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, and the Pacific Rim. Today, its product lines include VISE-GRIP locking pliers, clamps and wrenches, IRWIN® wood boring and cutting tools, QUICK-GRIP® clamping products, RECORD® hand tools, MARPLES® woodworking tools, JACK® hand saws, POWERPRESS® pipe clamps, TURBOMAX® drill bits, PROSNIP® snips, MARATHON® and SPRINT® saw blades, UNIBIT® step drills, HANSON® taps, dies and drills, CHESCO® hex tools, SPEEDBOR® wood boring bits, and STRAIT-LINE® marking tools. Quite a dramatic change from the day a young Danish immigrant traveled to America and established his place in history.

BP Shipcare is a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Shipping Limited, which is a member of the BP Group. It was formed in 1975 initially to lay-up its own surplus tonnage but as demand and expertise increased the service was expanded to include other ship owners and operators. BP Shipcare's lay-up site is off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia near to the island of Labuan, in Brunei Bay. The bay was identified as a suitable spot for preserving vessels and rigs since it lies in sheltered waters outside the typhoon belt. The anchorage has good holding ground in 30m of water and a current of no more than half a knot allowing ships to be moored to a single anchor. The lay-up unit can accommodate over 30 vessels at any one time. Since the start of operations in Brunei Bay, BP Shipcare has successfully laid-up and reactivated over 150 different vessels, including tankers, gas carriers, rigs and container ships. The experienced gained over this time enables us tailor the lay-up to suit owner and vessel requirements, ensuring vessels are returned in optimum condition. Typically this involves protection of machinery against static seizure, dehumidification of accommodation and engine room, hull protection via strategically placed anodes and blanking of hull apertures, and appropriate protection for all external deck equipment. Once laid-up, 24 hour on board watch-keeping enables the entire crew to be repatriated providing significant cost savings to owners. Routine maintenance schedules are agreed and regular reports keep owners apprised of vessel's condition. In addition, by liaising with local shipyard facilities, BP Shipcare is able to assist with arrangements for any remedial or refurbishment work that may be required, making efficient use of the period the vessel is in lay-up.

Not withstanding their obvious collectability, ship models have, through the ages, formed an intrinsic part of the world's shipbuilding industry. It is still normal practice for the shipyard to provide a scale model of the proposed vessel. This can be for tank testing, design and development, marketing, or boardroom purposes. Engine room layouts and internal piping models are also an indispensible tool when designing the complex machinery space of modern ships. In addition, accurate scale models of both historic and modern vessels are supplied to many major U.K. museums.
