MarAd Approves Title XI

For Cruise Vessel

Costing $11.9 Million

The Maritime Administration has approved in principle an application from Liberty Cruise lines, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Wind- sor, Inc., of St. Louis, Mo., to aid in financing of construction of one pas- senger cruise vessel.

The cruise vessel will have an approximate overall length of 247 feet, a molded beam of 40 feet, and will be able to accommodate 140 passengers. The planned itineraries for the vessel include ports on the

East Coast of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Although a builder has not yet been named, the company indicated in its application that it is negotiat- ing with several prospective ship- builders. The desired delivery date is in spring 1988.

The approved Title XI guarantee covers $8,962,000 or about 75 per- cent of the actual cost of $11,949,865. It does not cover con- struction period financing, for which Liberty Cruise Lines said it had made private arrangements.
