The MSC charter agreement specifies that the tankers are to have worldwide trading privileges, which could include operations in the domestic coastal and inter- coastal trades. Ocean Carriers was recently awarded a contract to construct and charter to the MSC two T-5 replacement tankers with op- tions for three more. They will be built by American Ship Build- ing Company for Ocean Product Tankers, Inc., a subsidiary of Ocean Carriers' parent company, Ocean Shipholders, Inc. (see MR/ EN November 1982). The vessels, scheduled for delivery in 1984, will be bareboat chartered to other subsidiaries of Ocean Ship- holdings and time chartered to the MSC. Section 805(a) of the Mer- chant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, prohibits subsidized op- erators and their affiliates from participating in domestic ship- ping activities without written permission from MarAd. Ocean Carriers currently operates four subsidized vessels. The written permission from MarAd is re- quested only because of its affili- ation with the bareboat charters of the T-5 tankers. It does not propose to operate its chartered vessels in the domestic trades. TeleSystems Concludes Distribution Agreement With Grove Of Canada TeleSystems of Fairfax, Va., a Comsat Company, recently con- cluded an agreement with Grove Telecommunications Ltd., where- by that Canadian company will become a major distributor for TeleSystems, MCS-9000 maritime satellite communications termi- nal. Grove, located in St. Johns, Newfoundland, will address the Canadian offshore oil industry as its principal market. A.W. Perigard, president of TeleSystems, commenting on the agreement, said: "Grove is the only company operating in Can- ada dedicated exclusively to serv- icing the area of marine satellite communications, putting them in a prime position to successfully distribute the MCS-9000 in an active market. This agreement is a milestone of our long and mu- tually beneficial relationship." The MCS-9000, designed and manufactured by TeleSystems, is a shipboard satellite terminal de- signed to provide the maritime community with a full range of communications capabilities. The TeleSystems' terminal minimizes operator actions in call estab- lishment and maximizes system availability through reduced com- plexity. Featuring extremely com- pact below-decks equipment, ad- vanced terminal software, and a passively stabilized antenna sys- tem, the MCS-9000 meets or ex- ceeds all MARISAT and INMAR- SAT specifications.
