SHIP REPAIR TRENDS
Given anticipated supply and demand needs,
smaller shipyards — especially in Eastern
Europe, South American, China, Indonesia,
the Mediterranean and the U.S. — may be
inundated with Handysize repair work.
Panamax and Capesize ships may face rising
costs since drydock space for larger ships will

Oil Ship To Be Delayed
Two To Three Months
Saga Petroleum ASA said delivery of the pro-
duction ship for the Varg oilfield in the North
Sea could be delayed by two to three months.
Saga said the Varg vessel was 85 percent
completed at the Far East Levingston
Shipbuilding (FELS) in Singapore, but five
weeks behind schedule. The vessel was due
to be delivered on January 26. Varg is due to
come on stream in the second quarter of
1998. Saga said it was too early to say what
consequences the delayed processing facili-
ties would have on the start up plan.
