Crucible Aquamet 17 is a boat shaft made of a precipitation-hard- ening stainless steel, now in use in pleasure boats, workboats, crewboats, fishing trawlers and pi- lot and patrol boats. Crucible Aquamet 19 is a modified type 304 stainless alloy strengthened by a nitrogen addition. Corrosion resis- tance is superior to Aquamet 17. Crucible Aquamet 22 provides the highest level of corrosion resistance with high strength.

"Marine Bunker Fuels - Markets, Economics and Technical Develop- ments," indicates that worldwide de- mand for marine bunkers is now in excess of 150 million tons, of which 83 percent is accounted for by fuel oil. Total demand has oscillated widely in the last two decades, with the most recent low in the market occuring in 1985, when consump- tion dropped to 123 million tons as a result of the collapse in world trade and the requirement for ships.
