James Lowe, president of Tacoma Boatbuilding Company of Tacoma, Wash., has announced that details of a contract valued at $110 million with Gulf Pacific Cruise Lines of Houston for con- struction of an 800-passenger cruise liner have been finalized. Imple- mentation of the contract had been contingent upon Gulf Pacific's se- curing of final financing. According to Mr. Lowe, the Houston-based company has now obtained appropriate letters of credit from a major financial insti- tution. Gulf Pacific recently ap- plied to the Maritime Administra- tion for a Title XI mortgage guarantee that would cover 75 percent of the cost of the vessel, which will be named the Galves- ton. Approval of the application, expected within 90 days, will sig- nal the go-ahead for the project. The new ship will be based in Galveston, Texas, and operate cruises in the Gulf area. It is esti- mated that delivery of the U.S.- flag vessel will be about three years after start of construction. According to Gulf Pacific presi- dent Julio Giannotti, his com- pany also plans to buy the former Matson passenger ship Monterey, which is laid up in San Francisco and now owned by American Mar- itime Holding Inc. The passenger capacity of the 14,799-gt ship would be increased from 350 to 600. Gulf Pacific intends to request a Title XI guarantee from MarAd to aid the financing of the conversion, which could be accomplished in about 12 months' time.
