SUMITOMO...

SHIPBUILDER TO THE WORLD

For well over seventy years Sumitomo has been building ships of every description. Mam- moth tankers, bulk carriers, combination carriers and special purpose ships such as LASH and liquefied gas carriers. All are built to the high technical standards and attention to detail that mark all Sumitomo products.

And with the future needs of customers in mind

Sumitomo has constructed Oppama, the com- puter-age shipyard, which, in almost three years operation has already launched a score of ships.

Good ships start in good yards. Sumitomo's adoption of the most modern facilities in this 133-acre productive facility means that you get workmanship, performance and scheduling that's even better than ever before. • SUMITOMO HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.
