Japan Foreign Ship Orders

Down 64.1%

Overseas shipbuilding orders received by Japanese shipyards in

February totaled 505,060 grt for 12 vessels, down 64.1 percent from a year earlier, according the Japan

Ship Exporters' Association said.

The sharp decline could be attrib- uted to Asia's financial turmoil as well as to an ample backlog of orders held by Japanese ship- builders. The current backlog of orders is expected to keep

Japanese shipyards busy at least until the end of 2000.

OMI Acquisition Of MTL To

Be Completed By May

OMI Corp.'s acquisition of

Marine Transport Lines Inc. — and plans to spin off its foreign operations — will reportedly be completed by May. OMI announced plans to merge with

Marine Transport last summer, and the deal was originally sched- uled for completion in January 1998.

Under the terms of the planned merger, OMI will be spun off to existing shareholders as a sub- sidiary, owning and operating its non-U.S. flagged shipping fleet.

The merged OMI-Marine

Transport unit will take on OMI's

U.S. flagged ships and operate under the Marine Transport name.
