By Jan. 1, the firm will merge with three other Tyneside firms to form Swan, Hunter & Tyne Shipbuilders and become one of the few British shipbuilders able to handle the mammoth tankers that are becoming a key to the industry's survival. Two Esso tankers, 240,000 tons each, bigger than any ship ever built in Britain, will go up in their yards. Belfast's Harland & Wolff will build two more, at a price...
