Kockums To Build Four
Ro/Ro's For Saudi Arabia
In $240-Million Order
Four ro/ro ships of 38,500 dwt
each — the largest in the world
to date — will be built by Swe-
den's Kockums shipyard, Malmo,
for the National Shipping Com-
pany of Saudi Arabia under a
$240,000,000 order.
The vessels, which will be used
for shipping vehicles and trailers
between the U.S. and Saudi Ara-
bia, can take 2,000 containers.
They will be powered by Gota-
verken-built engines. Delivery of
the first unit will take place in
the first quarter of 1983.
Kockums, a major builder of
supertankers during the early
1970s, was acquired by the state-
owned Swedyards group in 1978.
The shipyard also specializes in
building liquefied-gas tankers.
