Maritime Administration News were built in San Diego, with the aid of construc- tion-differential subsidy.

In its application, Mormac notes the vessels are suitable primarily for the carriage of petroleum products. It hopes to seek employment on the spot market in the domestic trade for the Mormacstar after December 9, 1995 and for the Mormacsun after June 22, 1996, possibly moving petroleum products from the U.S. gulf or the west coast. The two vessels are well equipped and maintained, and in capacity, speed, and condition they will be well suited to the proposed trade, according to Mormac.

The application, assigned Docket S-924, is sched- uled for publication in the Federal Register.

Central Gulf Lines gets go-ahead

MarAd has granted written permission to

Central Gulf Lines, Inc., to operate the U.S.-flag bulk carrier S/S Energy Independence in the coast- wise trade until the duration of Waterman's operat- ing-differential subsidy contract.

As a condition of the approval, title to the vessel is to be transferred to New England Power Co. or to a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Central Gulf,

Enterprise Ship Co., Inc. The Central Gulf sub- sidiary will own or bareboat charter the vessel to

Central Gulf.

Waterman's ODSA expires on December 31, 1996. Central is a corporate subsidiary of

Waterman. A notice of the application, assigned

Docket S-917, was published in the Federal

Register. Comments were filed by Intercoastal Bulk

Carriers, Inc., (IBC) and Attransco, Inc. IBC has since withdrawn its opposition to the application.

Section 805(a) of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, prohibits subsidized operators and their affiliates from participating in domestic shipping activities without written permission from

MarAd.
