from some 28 percent in 1977). In terms of tanker demand, the fleet needed to transport U.S. crude trades is projected to be some 52 million dwt in 1980, and some 38 million dwt in 1985. The products carrier demand is seen as doubling from 9 million dwt in 1977 to 18 million dwt in 1980, and then increasing to 40 million dwt by 1985. It is evident that this change in the structure of U.S. generated tanker demand could have a profound effect on the tanker market worldwide. It has frequently been suggest- ed that U.S.-flag tankers should be guaranteed a share of the tank- er demand generated by U.S. oil imports. An examination of the supply of U.S.-flag tankers indi- cates that this fleet was some 11.5 million dwt at the end of 1977, and is likely to peak at some 15 million dwt in 1980 but remain above 14 million dwt up to 1985. In terms of the tanker demand arising as a result of forecast U.S. oil imports levels, this fleet represents between 18 percent and 21 percent of the total (but these figures do not show sep- arately U.S. coastal trades already reserved to U.S.-flag tonnage). However, if tankers owned or held on long-term charter by U.S. com- panies operating under non-U. S. flags are taken into account, it is found that only in 1985 is there a deficit of U.S.-controlled ton- nage in relation to U.S.-generated tanker demand. Thus, given the introduction of some form of U.S. oil cargo preference, it seems cer- tain that there will be immediate pressure for the re-registration of non-U.S.-flag U.S.-owned tankers under U.S. flag.

Three R Trusts Requests Title XI To Construct Tug/Supply Vessel Three R Trusts, Post Office Box 1168, Galveston, Texas, has ap- plied for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of one twin-screw tug/supply ves- sel. The applicant, owner of three vessels, consists of trusts estab- lished by Robert L. Moody, 20 South Shore, National Bank Build- ing, Galveston, for the benefit of his children. The applicant indicates the vessel will carry provisions and construction material to offshore drilling sites, and may operate in foreign and domestic commerce. It will be 185 feet in length, with a beam of 38 feet, a depth of 14 feet, and a loaded draft of about 11 feet. Having a gross tonnage of less than 300, it will be pow- ered by two marine diesel engines rated at 1,250 horsepower each. The estimated actual cost of the vessel is $2,437,500, of which 87y> percent, or approximately $2,100,000 is eligible for Title XI financing. Zigler Shipyards, Jen- nings, La., has been selected to build the vessel. INVOICE Barnacles, sea lettuce, green algae, tube worms. They all have one thing in common. They chew up millions of dollars yearly. Dollars that should have been profits. They're slow death to the efficiency of any ship. Whether its a bulk ship, tank ship or dry cargo ship. Whether it's a coastal ship or VLCC. And the bigger they come, the faster profits fall. With regularly scheduled SCAMP® underwater hull cleanings, fuel savings alone for VLCC's operating between 12 and 14 knots can be anywhere from $210,000 to $340,000 over a 2Vi year dry dock cycle. Depending on water temperature, displacement, weather, currents and other variables. Interesting? How's, you r .barnacle this year? Regularly scheduled cleaning will extend dry dock cycles. Vessel downtime is reduced to an absolute minimum and normal operations proceed on schedule. For instance, a 250kDWT VLCC can be cleaned in 8 to 12 hours-and cargo can be discharged at the same time! An optimal cleaning program after fouling begins is once every round trip for long haul vessels, and every three to four months for other vessels. SCAMP hull cleaning stations are strategically located on major trade routes. Bookings can be arranged to accommodate ships' schedules worldwide by contacting Butterworth Systems, our Sales Representatives or any SCAMP hull cleaning station. bill With SCAMP® underwater hull cleaning, it could be $300,000 less than you're paying now.
