However, some shipowners have objected with complaints of over- regulation, and it has become clear that only a small percentage of shipowners currently comply with the ISM Code and has been specu- lation that some companies will miss the July 1 deadline. "There has been some talk recently about the difficulties sec- tions of the industry are likely to encounter if they fail to meet the deadline and the possibility of extending it," O'Neil said.

Sun Expects Savings In
Move From Maritime
Sun Transport expects savings equaling $30 million from the dis- posal of its remaining shipping fleet to Maritrans. "We expect to see some savings from getting out of the maritime business and instead buying in those specialist services," a Sun spokesman said. "What we need is for our petroleum products to be moved. We do not need to be the mover."
Maritrans will acquire the 34,000-dwt petroleum product tankers Philadelphia Sun and
New York Sun and two tug/oil products barge combinations. Sunl said it had agreed long-term con-J tracts for the future operation of the assets being sold. The two J tug/barge combinations will con- tinue to operate between Sun'sl
Puerto Rico refinery and otherj parts of the island.
In June, Sun Transport sold itsl 3,550-dwt tanker Eastern Sun tol
John W. Stone, and four tug/bargel combinations to LeeVac Corp.]
Terms for either deal were not dis- closed.
