P&O, the world's largest independent shipping group, has or- dered the biggest ship in the firm's 140-year history — a 414,000-dwt tanker—from the Japanese shipbuild- er. The new ULCC is due to enter service with P&O bulk shipping di- vision during 1977. However, the new vessel will be only slightly larger than three ULCCs already on order to Anglo-Nordic, a firm that is joint- ly owned by P&O and Palmerston Holdings. The latter ships are also due for delivery in 1977. Mooremack Subsidiary Charters 3 Tankers To Shell Int'l Petroleum Moore and McCormack Co., Inc.
