AEIL Applies To Mar Ad For Sixth Containership American Export Isbrandtsen Lines has asked the Maritime Administration for con-struction subsidy on a sixth 860-foot contain-ership in addition to the five for which an ap-plication is already pending. The company indicated it needed the extra 25-knot vessel, along with two of the initial five, to provide weekly service between New York and Northern Europe and the United Kingdom. The other three proposed vessels, each of which will cost an estimated $21.2-million, would provide containership service to the Western Mediterranean. Maritime Research Board Establishes Safety Panel The Maritime Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council has established an ad hoc panel on ship safety. The panel, under the chairmanship of Hollins-head de Luce, will analyze and evaluate the safety performance of the U.S. merchant ma-rine and the adequacy and administrative ef-ficiency of the safety regulatory system under which it operates. The study will be conducted in two parts. The first, by a team under the direction of Robert J. Tapscott, will develop a comparison of U.S. safety regulations, performance, and cost with those of one or more representative foreign countries. The second study team is headed by Frank L. Pavlik. It will concentrate on identifying redundancies in the administration of safety regulations among the various governmental agencies and classification societies. The safety panel includes the following members: Hollinshead de Luce (chairman), manager, ship development and sales, Ship-building Division, Bethlehem Steel Corpora-tion ; Maurice J. A.
