L.F. GAUBERT & CO. INC. (Continued from page 105) bers and leading tanker owners/operators from Hong Kong,

Japan, Korea, Malaysia and

Singapore.

The Singapore Shipping

Association and Hong Kong

Shipowners Association were also represented together with

Dagfinn Lunde, Kristian

Fuglesang and Minerva Alfonso from the INTERTANKO

Secretariat.

INTERTANKO established the

Asian Regional panel earlier this year to boost the participation of

Asias tanker shipping interests in the activities of the association.

Mr K.H. Koo of Tai Chong

Cheang Steamship Co. (HK) Ltd. was elected Chairman of the Panel and Mr. Joseph Kwok of Neptune

Orient Lines Ltd. the first of two

Vice-Chairmen. Both Mr. Koo and

Mr. Kwok are members of the

INTERTANKO Executive

Committee. It was decided that the second Vice-Chairman should come from Japan, and the

Japanese delegation will revert with their nomination as soon as possible. Discussions at the second panel session were reportedly con- structive.

At the top of the agenda was

Singapores new port limits and

Singapore Off-Port Limits (OPL) about which Captain Anil Singh from Tanker Pacific gave a compre- hensive presentation.

Mr. Shinji Kumagawa of NYK

Line made a brief presentation on the congested traffic situation in

Tokyo Bay, and also discussed the

Japanese governments plan to expedite the replacement of the existing single hull tankers by dou- ble hull prior to the mandatory specified date. INTERTANKO has been asked to take action and appeal against this initiative.
