U.S. And Canada Agree

To Cooperate In Marine

Transportation R&D

Representatives of government maritime agencies of the United

States and Canada have signed a formal agreement to cooperate in marine transportation research and development, it was an- nounced recently in Washington and Ottawa.

Under the agreement, there will be information and personnel exchanges, project work sharing and joint assessment of marine transportation systems and tech- nology.

It was signed in Ottawa by

Bruce A. McAllister, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of commerce for maritime affairs, and Gordon

Sinclair, administrator, Canadian

Marine Transport Administration (CMTA).

The agreement was immediate- ly effective. Either side may ter- minate it by giving a year's no- tice.

Cooperative research and de- velopment is expected to empha- size marine transportation in Arc- tic, inland and coastal waters.

Agreement was announced on two research projects.

Under one, the United States will share with Canada informa- tion from 1969 and 1970 Arctic voyages of the ice-strengthened tanker S/S Manhattan. The Mar- itime Administration (MarAd), and the CMTA will analyze the data as they relate to Arctic ship design and operation, and pub- lish a joint report.

Similarly, CMTA will share with MarAd information from the operation of the M/C Arctic, an icebreaking bulk carrier built un- der a joint Canadian government- industry program.
