Kuwait Shipping Co.

Orders Three More

Vessels From Govan

According to reports from Glas- gow, the Kuwait Shipping Co. has awarded an order for three more 22,300 - deadweight - ton multipur - pose cargo vessels to Govan Ship- builders, the U.K.-Government controlled shipyard on the River

Clyde. The winning of this award brings the total orders with Govan for these ships up to nine, with an overall value of $95 million at cur- rent exchange rates.

D.H. Todd, general manager of

Kuwait Shipping, commented that the first of the nine vessels would be delivered in April 1974 and the last early in 1976. He added that the company was paying for the ships in cash.

The first batch of four ships was ordered from Govan in July 1972.

This was followed by two more in

March of this year and the recent announcement of the latest three.

The order is being seen as pro- viding a valuable program for Go- van, not only in terms of work, but also in the form of a fairly long production run for a standard ship series.

The ships have been ordered to cater for a "substantial increase" in trade moving into Arabian and

Iranian ports. .DT
