"Even if the go ahead on CT9 were given today, the first berth could not be ready before June 1997 and the fourth berth by June 1998.
"Similarly, our trigger point mechanism shows we need the first berth of CT10 by September 1996 and the first berth of CT11 by December 1997. At the moment it is unlikely that the first berth of CT10 will come on stream before April 1998 and the first berth of CT11 a year later."

Lawyers invite to join Legal Department
The Legal Department is inviting lawyers to join the department as Crown Counsel.
In view of the increasing workload and activities in the department's various fronts, including the prosecution, law drafting and civil and criminal advisory, lawyers will find joining the department a good chance to demonstrate their professional ability in a varied and challenging job, a spokesman for the Legal Department said today (Friday).
Young Crown Counsel will also be able to develop their interest and expertise in a particular area as they will be posted to work in the department's various divisions.
"A newly-appointed counsel will normally be posted in the first instance to the Civil Division, the Law Drafting Division. Prosecutions Division or Legal Policy Division. He or she may be subsequently posted to other divisions for career development," the spokesman said.
He pointed out that as the Legal Department is fully committed to a programme of localisation, preference will be given to local applicants.
