With fresh paint and refurbished interior, the conversion into the F/V

Sea Storm was complete.

MARCO Marine also carried out repowering work on the F/V

Vesteraalen. The yard replaced the controllable pitch propeller with fixed pitch, installed a new propul- sion nozzle and modified the rudder for quicker helm response. A new raw sea water (RSW) circulation system was also installed and gen- eral maintenance performed on the vessel.

The F/V Defender, repowered and converted from an oil rig supply vessel to a trawler last fall, recently returned to the MARCO shipyard for installation of new reduction gears with power takeoff (PTO) shafts. MARCO also redesigned and rebuilt the Defender's RSW pump and manifold system and in- stalled new drain screens in the

RSW tanks.

Study Indicates

World Tanker Employment

May Rise 92 Percent

Ocean Shipping Consultants (OSC), ofChertsey, U.K., have com- pleted a study that predicts a major increase in the international ocean carriage of oil products over the next ten years.

OSC's "Tankers: The Outlook to 2005" states that the annual volume of oil product shipments will rise from 461.7 million tons in 1990 to 749.3 million tons in 2005, repre- senting an increase of more than 287 million tons, or 62 percent over 15 years.

The report bases these signifi- cant growth predictions on likely trends in the citing of refinery ca- pacity and the movement away from traditional market centers.

Consequently, OSC suggests that the future outlook for the product tanker market is very positive, with total product tanker employment set to rise by 92 percent.
