Australians To Build 100,000-Dwt Ships

A firm commitment to have

Australian shipyards build 100,- 000-deadweight-ton ships as quick- ly as possible has 'been announced by the Australian Government.

The Australia High Commis- sion reported that Australia's Min- ister for Transport Charles Jones had invited the country's two larg- est coastal carriers, the state-own- ed Australian National Line, and

Broken Hill Proprietary (BHP),

Australia's largest industrial group with a major interest in steelmak- ing, to cooperate in choosing a standard design for 100,000-ton bulkers, and even larger ships.

The Minister said that the Gov- ernment wanted to have continuity of orders reaching Australian yards for large bulkers to carry ore and other bulk cargoes.

He added that two more foreign- flag bulk carriers would be allowed to operate on the Australian coast, bringing the number of foreign- registered vessels to four. These will eventually be replaced by Aus- tralian-built and owned tonnage.
