London underwriters reportedly ve decided that pollution cover- e rates for tankers carrying oil )uld be based on the tankers age

Ld design features. The new rate ructure will establish the insur- ice rates charged for the $200 mil- >n of pollution coverage that may ; purchased to supplement the >00-million coverage provided by •otection and indemnity clubs.

Under the new rate scheme, a ngle-hulled tanker that is over 25 jars old and that trades in the U.S. ill pay about 64 percent more per

RT than a double-hulled tanker p to five years old.

For tankers older than 25 years, .le corresponding figures are $0.42 er GRT per voyage or $2.85 per

IRT per year. Double-hull tankers uilt during or after 1987 will be ligible for a 15 percent reduction in he coverage rates, while double- lottom tankers will be given a 12.5 tercent reduction. As a result, the ildest single-hull tankers trading in he U.S. will pay about 64 percent nore for supplemental pollution cov- irage than new double-hull tankers )f equal gross tonnage.

Japan To Fund

Spill-Response Equipment

For Southeast Asia

Japan has reportedly decided to provide six southeast Asian coun- tries with approximately $90 mil- lion for improving their spill-re- sponse capabilitis. The Japanese government reportedly made the decision to provide the funds in the wake of the Maersk Navigator spill off Indonesia.

The countries receiving the aid -

Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines,

Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand - will reportedly use the money to purchase spill-response equipment and supplies they believe are most needed to fight pollution.

In a similar program, The Petro- leum Association of Japan, in coop- eration with Japan's Ministry of In- ternational Trade and Industry, is providing funding and technical as- sistance to private organizations in

Southeast Asia to help them respond more efficiently and effectively to oil pollution.
