IHI Receives Order

To Build Gas Carrier

Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy In- dustries Co., Ltd. (IHI) of Japan has received an order from Scotland- based Tarquin Shipping for a 4,000 m3 gas carrier.

The 4,500-dwt vessel is expected to be delivered in September of this year.

MarAd Agrees To Offer

By Shell To Buy

Three LNG Carriers

The Maritime Administration (MarAd) has agreed to an offer by

Shell International Inc., London, for the option to purchase three lique- fied natural gas (LNG) carriers owned by the agency. Shell has made the offer on behalf of an

American citizen company which was not revealed.

The vessels are the Arzew, Gam- ma and Southern built by Newport

News Shipyard, Newport News, Va., and delivered in 1978 and 1979.

The purchase option is for a three-year period, expiring Decem- ber 31, 1990, and provides for an annual payment to MarAd of $1.3 million per vessel.

Under the terms of the option, the vessels could be purchased for $12 million each in 1988, $12.7 million each in 1989, or $13.5 million each in 1990.

The option is subject to the in- spection of two of the LNG carriers, the Arzew and Southern. MarAd is requiring that the purchaser agree not to resell the vessels before De- cember 31, 1995, and said the parti- cipants must consent to the options no later than May 31, 1988.
