The six classification societies involved in the signing were the American Bureau of Shipping, Bu- reau Veritas, Det norske Veritas, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, Germanischer Lloyd and Registro Italiano Navale. The shipbuilding consortium is made of Spain's Astilleros Espanoles, France's Chantiers de l'Atlantique, Italy's Fincantieri and Germany's Bremer Vulkan and HDW. The con- sortium is developing a so-called E- 3 Tanker (European, Economical and Environmental design), a 2-million- barrel-capacity, double-hull very large crude carrier. It was also reported that the E-3 Consortium and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are cooperating on investigating safety and prevention of oil pollution at sea. Working teams are checking suit- ability of solutions such as double- hull and low mid-deck designs to avoid oil pollution in the event of an accident.
