Bergens Mek. Verksted, which re- cently broke away from the Aker group, and Kristiansands Mek.

Verksted, are all concentrating on repair and offshore work.

Only Moss Rosenberg has ves- sels of significant size on its cur- rent order book—a 24,000 m3 LPG carrier for Helge R Myhre, and 13,200 dwt chemical tanker for A/

S Havtor Management. However,

Moss, too, has joined the rapidly growing number of yards looking towards the offshore market for future employment.

As has been noted elsewhere, one of the keys to survival in to- day's shipbuilding market is the establishment of a reputation as a specialist and leader in the con- struction of a particular vessel type. This has been achieved by

Ulstein Hatlo, with its highly pop- ular UT 708 and UT 704 supply vessels. A number of these sophis- ticated craft have been delivered, and the yard is constantly work- ing to improve and refine the de- sign in order to offer prospective buyers a still more efficient and economic product.

The work which stems from the offshore industries is extremely varied, involving the construction and maintenance of rigs, accom- modation platforms, modules, sup- ply vessels, rescue crafts, buoys, pipelines, tankers etc. Neverthe- less, it seems doubtful whether there will be enough to enable many of the small Norwegian yards, unaided by government subsidies, to hold great hopes for the future.
