The Maritime Administration has given Oglebay Norton Co. of Cleve- land, Ohio permission to sell the 14,600-dwt cargo vessel Robert C.

The vessels were built in 1943 in

Rough, Mich., respectively, and will be scrapped in Turkey, Taiwan or

India. MarAd's approval is required under section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1916, as amended.

Operate Additional Vessel

American President Lines, Ltd., has asked the Maritime Adminis- tration for permission to operate an additional foreign-flag feeder ves- sel, with a capacity of 300 40-foot containers or the equivalent, be- tween Singapore and Indonesia. The company currently has permission to operate one such vessel.

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.
