WTC steel sent to Shipyard
Steel salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center was headed to a Mississippi shipyard Saturday for use in the USS New York, a warship named in honor of those who perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
It was the Navy's idea to incorporate the steel into the vessel.
The USS New York will be the fifth of 12 amphibious assault ships in the San Antonio class, which the Navy calls one of its most technologically innovative. The 684-foot vessel will carry a crew of 402 plus as many as 800 Marines. |

EC sets deadline for tanker crackdown
The European Commission has set a March 2003 target date for tough new tanker rules.
No single-hull oil tanker will be allowed to carry heavy fuel oil in the European Union once a proposal presented by the European Commission has been adopted by European Council and Parliament.
Furthermore, all single-hull oil tankers "of Erika and Prestige
type" aged more than 23 years will be "immediately banned from the Union," while the elimination of younger ones will take place earlier, between 2005 and 2010, according to a stricter calendar than provided for by current rules.
