economical vessels standardized : V s i" :>U • "J. R. Grey" is the second vessel of our new series of economical 260,000-dwt tankers with standardized design. The first one, the 263,231-dwt " Paul L. Fahrney" was deliver- ed early this year. We have already received orders for 20 vessels in this class; and to facilitate fast construction, we are building the world's biggest dock at the Koyagi Works of the Nagasaki Shipyard, where the vessels are built.

Additionally, we will build a good number of standardized 165,000-dwt oil/ore carriers, 126,000-dwt bulk carriers, and 120,000-dwt ore/bulk/oil carriers at our Kobe, Yokohama,

Shimonoseki, and Hiroshima Shipyards.

And we will build them fast and economical.

That's the beauty of standardization.
