Shaheen Natural Resources Plans 300,000-BBL Per Day Refinery In Newfoundland 'Shaheen Natural Resources Company, Inc., under an agreement with the Newfoundland Government, will build a 300,000-barrel-per- day refinery costing $308,500,000, at Come By Chance, Newfoundland. The new refinery, which will be the largest in Canada, will adjoin a 100,000-barrel-per-day refinery under construction by Newfoundland Refining Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Sha- heen Natural Resources, which is expected to commence production in August of this year. The agreement, announced in St. John's, Newfoundland, by Premier Frank D. Moores, calls for construction, operation, and owner- ship of the refinery by Newfoundland-Edison •Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sha- heen Natural Resources. The agreement calls for Shaheen to provide $40 million in equity capital. The Export Credit Guarantee Department of the British Govern- ment will advance $190 million secured by is- suance of first mortgage bonds, the remaining $78.5 million will be supplied by the New- foundland Government and secured by second mortgages. As part of the pact, the Newfoundland Gov- ernment will make available 1,177 acres of crown lands at Come By Chance on Placentia Bay, a half mile from where Newfoundland Refining is completing its installation. Cost of the land will be approximately $1 million. John M. Shaheen, president of Shaheen Natural Resources, said the installation, which will be the largest in Canada and one of the largest in the world, will refine Persian Gulf and North African crude oil and supply cus- tomers on the U.S. East Coast and Great Lakes, and a well-developed market in Europe. Mr. Shaheen said the Come By Chance site, with its year-round ice-free port, will utilize the present oil dock which extends 3,400 feet into Placentia Bay. The dock, with 100 feet of water at its face, can take tankers up to 500,000 deadweight tons. The new refinery, which is expected to take about 30 months to complete, will employ 3,000 men during peak construction, and is expected to have 700 permanent employees. $25-Million Order For Reefer Vessels As evidence of resurging demand for reefer- type cargoliners by U.K. shipowners, Blue Star has ordered two such vessels at a total cost of some $25 million. One of the vessels for the Vestey Food Group, which owns Blue Star, will be built by Smith's Dock, Teesside East Coast England, for delivery in December 1974, and the other is to be built by the Aker Group of Oslo, scheduled for de- livery in March 1975. Each vessel will have 9,700 gross tons, with 475,000 cubic feet bale space, a speed of 24 knots, and equipped for the carriage of all types of refrigerated cargoes. The order, and Blue Star says that more are to be expected, follows the purchase recently of two reefer ships by Shaw Savill and building of four others for P&O's general cargo division.
