Subsidy Sought For 390,000-Dwt Tanker

The Maritime Administration has received a request to subsidize the building of a 390,200-deadweight-ton tanker from a Delaware-chartered holding company. The vessel is to be constructed at Newport News

Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com- pany.

The subsidy application filed by

VLCC I Corporation said the 1,200- foot-long tanker, which would be chartered to Shell Oil Company un- der a long-term lease, would cost ap- proximately $133.5 million.

The crude oil carrier, which would have a cruising speed of 16.1 knots, would be employed in the worldwide trade.

This brings to nearly 80 such ves- sels of more than 100,000 dwt for which U.S. companies are seeking subsidy to build. They are valued at some $9 billion.

The Dixie Dredge Corporation, a subsidiary of Pott Industries, Inc.,

At present, the dredge is to be used in the reclamation of Creve

Coeur Lake, a 270-acre natural ox- bow lake surrounded by some 1,260 acres of park. This project is ex- pected to take approximately 10 years, and is designed to restore the lake to its original beauty and use- fulness as a recreation area.

Named Princess Me-Me-Ton-

Wish, the 14-inch Portable Hydraulic cutterhead dredge was shipped by truck from Dixie's St. Louis Plant to the lake site, was erected, launched and prepared for service within 10 days after leaving the plant. The dredge is designed with the capacity of digging to depths in excess of 20 feet below the waterline and pump- ing to distances up to one mile.

Total overall dimensions of the dredge are 55 feet by 21 feet by 5 feet, and it has a total of 710 con- nected horsepower. Dredging opera- tions began last month.

Dixie Dredge is a leading designer and builder of Portable Dredges, with manufacturing plants in St.
