"The decision to build Carla 2 is in line with our fleet moderniza- tion program, a move aimed to pro- vide our valued charterers with higher quality ships and services," said Terban Marine Vice President Vic Ignacio. "Its successful delivery testifies to Kepphil Shipyard's expertise not only in ship repair but also in the field of shipbuilding," he added. Hoe Eng Hock, president of Kepphil Shipyard, said, "Carla 2 demonstrates that shipbuilders here are capable of meeting de- mands of local shipowners embark- ing on the modernization of their fleet. With more incentives and support from the government, shipbuilders will be able to further expand our services to better serve the Philippine market." Carla 2 has an overall length of 323.2 ft. (98.5 m) and a cargo capacity of 6,000-cu.-m. It is installed with two cargo pumps, each delivering 500 cu. m. of petro- leum products per hour. Powered by a single, 3,080-bhp @ 90 rpm engine, the vessel is capable of a service speed of 12 knots. The vessel is built in accordance with the classification rules of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) with the notation Maltese Cross A1 Oil Carrier/AMS Circle E. The vessel will accommodate a crew of 22, and will be chartered by Pilipinas Shell Petroleum for ser- vicing outports in Philippine terri- torial waters. Carla 2's sister vessel is expected to be completed in the first quarter of this year. Kepphil Shipyard is also busy with the conversion of a 5,700-dwt product tanker, Reta Link III, to an asphalt carrier, as well as the repair of local and foreign vessels.

The two 360-TEU vessels on order are being built by Wuhu Shipyard in China's Anjui Province near Nanjing. The first ship is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 1997, and the other in the second quarter. The reported contract value for each is approximately $10 million. With a deadweight of 5,000 tons and a service speed of around 15 knots, each ship will be equipped with two 40-ton cranes and 50 reefer points, and will be classified by Germanischer Lloyd. "We intend to charter these ships to feeder operations around the world. There is particularly strong demand for this type of vessel for trade in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Asian regions," said C.N. Watson, executive chairman of Steamers. Elaborating on the specifications of the newbuildings, Mr. Watson said, "Their capacity and size are especially ideal for the smaller ports in the Asia-Pacific region. With their fast speed, these vessels can achieve a quick turnaround time." In addition to these two new- buildings, Steamers will purchase five-year-old containership Wotan. The vessel has been chartered by Steamers subsidiary Straits Ship- ping for the Singapore-Haiphong trade since September 1995. This 270-TEU vessel has a dwt of 3,500 tons, a service speed of 13 knots, two units of 35-ton cranes and 30 reefer points. The vessel, to be renamed Straits Joy, will continue to trade on the Singapore- Haiphong route for Straits Shipping.
