semblies was described as a highly efficient method of building the giant new ships needed in ocean transport, without costly invest- ment in building docks that are used in other yards, particularly in Japan.

Mr. Vernede said that is the system decided upon by the A.G. Weser board to give the yard flexibility as vessel demands change.

Dr. Ache explained that the Bre- men yard is committed to the long- range construction of giant tankers that are now in great demand, but that a change of direction to con- struct other types of vessels in the future could also be done quickly.

Mr. Vernede, who pointed to the company's net earnings of $20.5 million in 1972 as an indicator of the success of the shipyard's build- ing policy, said that there is great optimism for the future. "The series construction program is geared to orders of at least 10 vessels," he said, "and the company already has contracts for eight of the new 'Eur- opa' class, and it expects to get two more before the end of 1973."

Typical of the long-range view that A.G. Weser has adopted as company policy, Mr. Vernede said that the visit in the United States was part of discussion effort being maintained with world shipowners to determine future vessel needs and trends.
