How are your tankers affected by the new
USCG rules?
Where can you get your tankers retrofitted to comply with the USCG rules on inert gas systems, segregated ballast designated clean ballast, and crude oil washing systems? How long will it take? What will it cost?
Call Bethlehem foranswers: (212)558-9500
Bethlehem's seven major shipyards in the United
States add up to strong experience in both the building and repairing of tankers. And there is also our design arm, CTD. Bethlehem's Central Technical
Division is world renowned for its innovative ship- systems' engineering and its bold advancements in ship design and construction technology. CTD has already developed retrofit concepts that satisfy the new Coast Guard rules for Bethlehem- built tankers. Our repair yards are well able—and are set—to handle the actual jobs of retrofitting.
But more! We'll gladly interpret the new rules applicable to your tankers and explain the many compliance options available. If you like, we'll develop suitable concepts for retrofitting any of your tankers, and design and engineer the changes required. Then, where scheduling permits, we'll quote the job at one of our yards.
Must act now, or...
June 1,1981, the first deadline for compliance with the new rules, is not far away. Ship owners and operators who schedule retrofitting now may choose a layup time of convenience; those who wait may have to take the time slots that are left.
If any!
Call Bethlehem now.
