Four LPG Vessels

The U.K. shipping giant P&O has placed orders for four new ships costing about $60 million as part of its gas fleet expansion pro- gram, it was announced in Lon- don. P&O's managing director, A.

B. Marshall, said : "Our new orders will make P&O one of the largest independent owners of liquid petro- leum gas (LPG) carriers in the world."

Currently, P&O already has three

LPG carriers in service, but by the end of the current building pro- gram, they will have injected a capital investment of approximate- ly $325 million in their gas fleet.

The four new ships will be built in the U.K. and Norway—'Swan

Hunter will 'build an LPG carrier of 22,500-cubic-meters capacity for delivery in January 1975, the Nor- wegian Moss Verft will build a similar vessel of 22,000-cubic-me- ters capacity'for July 1975, and two 31,000-dwt petroleum product car- riers will be built by Horten Verft for May and August 1975.

These orders fallow the purchase of a second-ihand LPG carrier with a 14,000-cubic-meter capacity from

German owners.

Mr. Marshall commented: "The fleet will be engaged in internation- al trades and is likely to be em- ployed in carrying LPG to the

U.S., where the demand for non- pollutant fuels is steadily increas- ing."
