World's Largest Tanker
New Lease On Life
Singapore-based Keppel Ship- yard, a major operating division of
Keppel Corporation Limited, has successfully repaired and refur- bished the ultra large crude carrier

The extensive reconstruction job, worth about $63 million, was awarded to Keppel Shipyard by K/S
Jahre Viking of Norway amid stiff competition, on the strength of the yard's worldwide reputation for quality service and work.
Measuring a massive 1,505 feet long by 226 feet beam, the 564,739- dwt vessel is the largest tanker in the world.

NavTracXLGPS
The difference is even more clear.
GPS made navigation more accurate, but it took the NavTrac to make it more accessible.
Its elegant user-interface won an industry award for innovation. With its 3-D perspective diagram, you just point your boat down the roadway on the screen and it'll take you straight to your destination. If you can drive a car, you'll be navigating like an expert in no time.
With the NavTrac, all basic functions can be accomplished with the push of a single button. And since one screen displays all the information you'll need for most situations, you might go all day without ever pushing any buttons.
The new NavTrac XL gives you six channels of GPS and a new high- contrast display, exclusive to Trimble, that's easier to read in both direct sun and total darkness. And with its new slim-line shape, it looks as good as it works.
The NavTrac XL. It's putting navigation in perspective.

MarAd Approves Lykes
Request To Operate Four
Vessels In Foreign-Flag Service
The Maritime Administration has approved an application by Lykes
Bros. Steamship Co., Inc. for per- mission to charter or own and oper- ate four vessels in a foreign-flag ser- vice between the Middle East and the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coasts on
Trade Route (TR) 18. In its decision,
MarAd noted that Lykes's U.S.-flag fleet is aging and has no prospect of replacement with U.S.-built ships.
Section 804 of the Merchant Ma- rine Act of 1936, as amended, pre- cludes subsidized U.S.-flag opera- tors or their affiliates from operat- ing foreign-flag vessels which com- pete with essential U.S.-flag ship- ping services unless the Secretary of
Transportation waives the provision of this section for a specific period of time.
In its decision, MarAd stipulated that no operating-differential sub- sidy (ODS) be paid or used to benefit any foreign interest whose relation- ship is approved by this waiver and that no changes in geographic scope of the service in a Lykes/Waterman
Sailing Agreement beyond ports on
TR 18 and TR 17 shall be made without the agency's prior approval.
