FOR SHIP CONSTRUCTION: Examining welded seams or doing all the other jobs on the sides of today's great ships would be major time-consuming tasks if it were not for these types of suspended platforms and powered hoists, shown on a 210,000-ton tanker in the Yokohama yard of Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries in Japan. Struc- ture on main deck rail above is used to traverse platform along length of ship. Air or electric-powered work plat- forms and hoists, manufactured by Sky Climber, Inc.,

Gardena, Calif., a subsidiary of Western Gear Corporation, transport workmen and materials to many job assignments both inside and outside ships and land structures.

P&O Group Shipbuilding Orders

Total Over $417 Million

P&O (Peninsular & Oriental), the world's largest independent shipping group, has placed an order for a 260,900-dwt tanker with Mitsu- bishi, the Japanese shipbuilders. The vessel will be the largest ever to join the P&O fleet, and will bring the company's combined oiler fleet to 19 ships totaling 1.75-million dead- weight tons. The new tanker will be chartered to British Petroleum.

P&O now has on order 29 ships worth $314.4 million, and together with other joint shipbuilding ventures costing a further $103.2 million, the total outlay of $417.6 million is the largest order book in the group's history.

Eleven vessels are due for delivery later this year.

Singapore Operator Orders

Nine Equity Water Taxis

Behring South Ports Shipping Inc. arranged for the trans- portation of the Locolina II to Singapore.

A new Equity Standard 65-foot Water Taxi, was recently shipped to Singapore on board the freighter M/V Hoegh Orchid. Owned by

Locolina Shipping Inc. of Liberia, the Loco- lina II is the second of a series of nine Equity water taxis scheduled for operations in the

Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea.

The vessels will be operated by Robin Ship- yard (Pte.) Ltd. of Singapore.

When the nine-boat program is completed in late summer of this year, Robin will be op- erating a fleet of nine homogeneous steel craft of proven design. Five of the boats will be the well-known Equity 59-footers. The other four will be the increasingly popular Equity 65-foot water taxis.

By standardizing their fleet, the operators will have the advantage of almost complete interchangeability of parts, enabling them to conduct sustained operations on a virtually un- interrupted basis.

Locolina II is powered by two GM 12V71 turbo-charged engines which give it an oper- ating speed of 25 miles per hour. The vessel is air-conditioned and equipped with radar, radiotelephone and Fathometer. Seating is pro- vided in the cabin and lounge for 44 passen- gers.

Equitable Equipment Company, Inc.'s main office and yard are located at 4325 France

Road, New Orleans, La. 70126.
