Discussion of Japanese position in construction of large tankers and in investigation of problems involved with continued increase in ship sizes and probable limits for maximum optimum size of vessel which can be built using current shipbuilding techniques, present facilities of shipyards, port or canal capacities, etc; economic hull form, use of high tensile steel, and shipbuilding practices are among topics; it is considered that 200,000 to 250,000 ton dw would be upper limit for present Japanese yards and probable that yard could build very large tanker within 6 mo, including outfitting; tables show specifications for various steam and diesel tankers with completion dates from 1952 to 1967.
