Artemis Marine Amends Application For Catug Title XI Guarantee By letter of November 2, 1978, Artemis Marine Company has amended its application filed May 9, 1976, for a Title XI guar- antee to aid in financing the con- struction of an integrated tug- barge unit of the Catug (catama- ran-tug) design. Artemis, located at 410 Lakeville Road, Lake Suc- cess, N.Y., is a limited partnership affiliated with the "Berger Group" companies. The amended application shows the estimated actual cost of the vessel as $54,050,000. Up to 87V2 percent of that amount, or $47,- 293,000, would be eligible for a guarantee. Originally, the Berger Group had submitted Title XI, construc- tion-differential and operating- differential subsidy applications for two vessels. The Maritime Subsidy Board recently denied those applications, finding they did not further the purposes and policy of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended. (This action was noted in the Press Book item B78-472, October 24, 1978). The single vessel covered in the amended Title XI applica- tion would engage in domestic trades and would not receive op- erating or construction subsidies.

The ABS Management Committee oversees, on a monthly basis, the business of the Bureau on behalf of the board of managers.
