A shipbuilder for the project has not been determined as yet. The 37,500-dwt vessels will be powered by slow-speed diesel en- gines, and capable of operating at 15 knots. They are intended to be used in the domestic trade between U.S. Gulf and East Coast ports. The actual cost of the two ves- sels is approximately $119.8 mil- lion.

Exxon ULCCs Receive Stanwick Maintenance And Inventory Services The Stanwick merchant ship maintenance system will be in- stalled on four of the largest ships in the world, according to Robert Apple, president of The Stanwick Company Division of The Stan- wick Corporation, Washington, D.C. Exxon International Company has awarded the contract to de- velop and install the maintenance system and to inventory the on- board spares in the four ultra large crude carriers (ULCCs) of the Esso Atlantic/Tokyo class. Two of these tankers are approxi- mately 500,000 dwt and two are 400,000 dwt. Exxon has decided to proceed with this class after a year of evaluation of the Stan- wick maintenance system on four 37,000-dwt tankers of the Everett class. According to Bud Kelly, The Stanwick Company project man- ager, maintenance engineering analysts from Stanwick's Mari- time Systems Department, work- ing in coordination with Exxon's maintenance and repair staff, will establish a comprehensive pro- gram of scheduled maintenance tasks for all maintainable ship- board equipment, and produce the management system for schedul- ing and auditing the accomplish- ment of the program. Stanwick will also inventory all shipboard repair parts to provide input data for a computerized inventory con- trol program. Stanwick's maintenance and in- ventory control systems are in- stalled in more than 50 other commercial ships and drill rigs around the world.
