American Tankships - An Ingram Affiliate

Now Constructing Five 37,000 DWT

Product Tankers.

Just as Ingram Tankships' integrated Tug-

Barge units merited international acclaim for economy, efficiency and profitability, its affiliate American Tankships Inc.'s new building program represents another major

Ingram contribution to modern marine transportation.

The five 37,500 DWT tankers represent a new class of ship with a LOA of 658 feet, a beam of 90 feet, and a fully loaded draft of 36feet. These ships, to be built by NASSCO in San Diego, are among the first U. S. flag coastwise product tankers to be powered with slow-speed diesel engines. American

Tankships' new vessels offer further proof of

Ingram'sdedication to providing the marine industry with innovative technology.
