New York, NY 10010 (212)477-6700 (212) 254-6271 FAX 21 -Percent Increase In World

Shipbuilding Output Reported

The latest world shipbuilding sta- tistics published by Lloyd's Register (LR) show an increase of 2.3 million gross tons (gt) (21.3 percent) in new ship completions in 1989 from the previous year and up by almost 1 million gt from 1987.

The total output in 1989 amounted to 13.2 million gt, while new orders reported placed in 1989 totaled 19.3 million gt—approxi- mately 6.1 million gt more than the deliveries during the same period, according to LR's Annual Summary of Merchant Ships Completed dur- ing 1989.

A further, bigger increase in com- pletions is projected for 1990 as a result of the recent big increase in new orders. Of the 31.1 million gt total order book at the end of 1989, 17.8 million gt was scheduled for delivery in 1990, representing an increase of 34.1 percent in output compared with 1989. In addition, some of the new orders placed in the first two months of 1990 and amounting to 5.7 million gt (provi- sional) are also scheduled for de- livery in 1990.

Japan accounted for 40.5 percent of the total output in 1989, with

South Korea in second place with 23.4 percent, compared with 37 and 29 percent, respectively, in 1988. In third position were People's Repub- lic of China and Taiwan, followed by

Yugoslavia, West Germany, Den- mark and Italy.

In terms of tonnage, Japan's out- put totaled 5.4 million gt (up by 1.3 million gt). Of this, 2.2 million gt (40.2 percent) was ore and bulk car- riers and 1.7 million gt (31.6 per- cent) oil tankers.

The tonnage delivered by South

Korea fell by 73,000 gt to 3.1 million gt. Of the total, 2.2 million gt (72.4 percent) was oil tankers.

Worldwide, tankers represented 37.9 percent (unchanged) of all com- pletions. In terms of tonnage, the output increased by 882,000 gt to 5 million gt, of which 2.3 million gt (44.8 percent) was built in South

Korea.

Bulk carrier output amounted to 3.9 million gt (up 1.6 million gt), representing 29.4 percent of the to- tal. Japan's contribution (2.2 mil- lion gt) accounted for 55.6 percent of this tonnage.

General cargo ship output fell by 715,000 gt to 1.2 million gt, while containership completions were down by 225,000 gt to 1.2 million gt-

Liquefied gas and chemical tank- ers completed showed a significant increase, from 153,000 gt in 1988 to 653,000 gt in 1989.

MSI-Operated CAORF Facility

Selected To Assess Operational

Impact Of New BC Superferries —Free Literature Available—

The Computer-Aided Operations

Research Facility (CAORF) oper- ated by MarineSafety International (MSI) at Kings Point, N.Y., has been selected by the British Colum- bia Ferry Corporation, Victoria,

B.C., to assist their new construc- tion division in assessing the opera- tional impact of planned new super- ferries on existing marine facilities.

The Superferries are approxi- mately 100 feet longer than the larg- est ferries presently operated by the corporation. The superferries will increase vehicle capacities by 40 percent over the largest existing fer- ries.

The operations and design analy- sis will include preparing a precision response model of an existing V

Class ferry and a new superferry.

Visual, depth, bank, current and radar simulations will be prepared for two terminals and specific wa- terways. Experienced B.C. Ferry

Masters will pilot the existing and new ferries during a carefully de- signed and controlled real-time si- mulator test program. Data col- lected during the test program will be reduced and analyzed. These findings will be combined with sub- jective data to produce a final re- port.

The operations and design study will be completed in approximately six months. It will provide the new construction division with a solid basis for planning and while offering maximum safety and service for the users.

Using the same simulations, training courses will be provided by

MarineSafety for BC Ferry Masters just prior to arrival of the new superferries.

MarineSafety is a wholly owned subsidiary of FlightSafety Interna- tional, a leading simulator training organization for the aviation indus- try.
