Marcona Carriers Ltd.

New Name Of Marcona

Shipping Subsidiary

Marcona Corporation, San Fran- cisco-based resource development, shipping and mining concern, has renamed its principal shipping sub- sidiary Marcona Carriers, Ltd.

Formerly known as San Juan

Carriers, Ltd., the firm handles virtually all of Marcona's trans- portation requirements from iron ore projects in Peru and New Zea- land, and salt mining operations in

Chile. In addition, the shipping company lifts large amounts of iron ore from Port Hedland, Aus- tralia, under sales contracts ad- ministered by another Marcona subsidiary, Cia San Juan S.A.

In 1970, Marcona Carriers, Ltd., transported cargoes totaling 16,- 940,000 tons. The company's fleet at the close of 1970 consisted of 10 owned vessels, with an aggre- gate 890,000 deadweight tons, plus a fleet of time-chartered vessels, aggregating on average through- out the year about 2.2 million deadweight tons. Additional ca- pacity in 1970 aggregating the equivalent of 500,000 deadweight tons, was made available through single or multiple voyage con- tracts. The combined tonnage pro- vides Marcona with one of the world's largest dry cargo fleets.

Marcona Corporation is owned primarily by Cyprus Mines Cor- poration, Los Angeles, and Utah

Construction & Mining Co., San

Francisco.
