Expansion of SASEBO's present

No. 4 dock of 220,000 DWT ship- building capacity to 380,000DWT was started on September17,1970 to cope with the growing demands for huge tankers.

The dock will be expanded 60.2m in length and 5.7m in width with- out hampering the construction of 210,000 DWT standard tankers underway. And when completed, it will be 400m long and 57m wide and it's BIG ENOUGH for accom- modating huge tankers.

Expansion of the dock to 400m in length will enable construction of stern part of the next tanker at the same time to increase efficiency and production of the dock. Initial operation of the enlarged dockwill start in 1972 with the construction of 250,000 DWT tanker. env Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd
