Shake on it - for the Sake of their Shipyard; After Lord Mountbatten had launched the last of four 26,000 ton bulk carriers for the Molave Corporation of the Philippines, he met James Airlie, senior convenor of upper Clyde Shipbuilders, and Dashwood Finance Chairman Mrs. Aly Aziz and pledged abandonment of all disputes and certain delivery dates if Aziz succeeded in winning more orders for the yard. The ship just launced was three months late, costing according to Mr. Aziz, millions of dollars in lost orders. A decision is expected in the next few weeks on the new order which is being competed for by a Japanese yard.
