The new line, Navix, was formed by the merger of Japan Line Ltd., Tokyo, a leading tanker operator, and Yamashita-Shinnihon Steam- ship Co., Tokyo, a major bulk car- rier operator. Navix Line will oper- ate a fleet of 246 oceangoing ves- sels. 46 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News According to the Jones Act, any ships that carry cargo from one U.S. port to another must be built in a U.S. shipyard. If these vessels un- dergo an "entire rebuilding," the work must also be performed at a U.S. shipyard. Judge Green ruled that the Coast Guard has been inconsistent in its decisions involving the work carried out on U.S.-flag vessels by foreign shipyards. In the past, the Coast Guard had generally required all structural work to be performed in U.S. yards, while permitting non- structural work to be carried out at foreign yards. Judge Green wants the agency to clearly define struc- tural and non-structural work. U.S. shipyards might benefit from the decision if new Coast Guard rules force owners to carry out certain ship repairs domestically rather than abroad as in the past. Coast Guard To Reexamine Rules On Ship Repair Because of a recent court deci- sion, the U.S. Coast Guard will review its rules governing the extent to which U.S-flag ships can have work performed in foreign ship- yards without jeopardizing the ves- sels' eligibility for U.S. domestic trading. Any changes in the rules would affect both U.S.-flag vessel owners and U.S. shipyards. The decision was issued by U.S. District Court Judge Joyce Hens Green as part of a case involving the U.S.-flag cruise ship Monterrey, which underwent an extensive re- furbishment at U.S. and Finnish shipyards. THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO COMPLY WITH THE LATEST ENFORCED MARPOL 73/78 REGOLATIONS. ATLAS MAXI 25 S is the complete solid waste disposal unit, equipped with all the automatic regulating and safety de- vices which are necessary for perfect functioning year after year.
