Kockums Announces

Order For Three 355,000-Ton Tankers

Kockums Shipyard, Malmo, Swe- den, received an order on February 27 for three 355,000-ton tankers, in- creasing orders on hand to 18 ships totaling 5.5-million deadweight tons.

The value of the 18 ships, according to the purchase contracts, is approxi- mately $675,000,000.

Two of the three newly ordered ships will be delivered in 1976, and the other in 1977. The ships have been ordered by foreign buyers, whose names by agreement will not be made public at the present time.

Nine ships are still to be built in

Kockum's 20-ship series of 255,000- ton oil tankers. One of these, the Tur- quoise, will be delivered to a French shipping line this month.

Present plans call for the delivery of the 20tli and last 255,000 tonner in this series on August 1974, and the first 355,000 tonner will be delivered before the end of that year.

All 355,000-ton tankers are of the same type—each of them is 1,188 feet long, 197 feet wide, and 93 feet deep.

Maximum draft is 73 feet, which con- forms to Rotterdam harbor condi- tions. "WOVLP yov CHAh/fif 7ft/\TTP .../f< fO/Z MYMoVitt-M-LAV/. "
