Legislative Update
On the heels of the late-August California state govern- ment action increasing the minimum financial responsibility for spills to $700 million, on September 5, the National
Research Council (NRC) released a study that analyzed marine pollution regulations and how the enforcement of legislative standards can be implemented. Among its recommendations, the NRC said that the Maritime Admin- istration should develop a research and development pro- gram that examines the needs of a variety of large vessels in the area of on board qarbaqe treatment equipment. The report also said that efforts to control ocean dumping have been hampered by the fact that no national plan for managing vessel waste exists, and because the oversight duties are dispersed amona numerous federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the
National Marine Fisheries Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA), and the U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG). This echoes a sentiment expressed in a U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) report issued in the second quarter of 1995, commissioned by the Senate
Subcommittee on Transportation and Related Agencies
Committee on Appropriations, which recommended that the Secretary of Transportation direct the USCG Comman- dant to work with the Administrator of the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to explore "areas of mutual interest and ways to improve cooperation between the U.S Coast Guard and APHIS on enforcing MARPOL V."

Newport News Cuts Steel For First
Double Eagle Tanker
On September 20, Newport News Shipbuild- ing (NNS) cut the first piece of steel for the first
Double Eagle product tanker the yard will build for Eletson Holdings of Piraeus, Greece. The yard is building four 46,000-ton Double Eagle product tankers for the Greek company. As widely publicized upon the signing of the con- tract, these vessels will be the first commercial ships to be constructed by an American yard for an international customer since the late 1950s.
The steel for the first ship was cut by a newly- installed robotic machine, part of NNS's World-
Class Shipbuilder Project, a $68 million capital investment program designed to improve and automate processes for both commercial and military shipbuilding. The automated steel cut- ting was activated by Erric Kertsikoff and
Gregory Hadjieleftheriadis, vice presidents of Eletson Holdings. Members of the Virginia delegation were also present, including Senator
John Warner, Senator Charles Robb, and
CongressmenHerb Bateman andBobby Scott.
