BABCOCK MOXEY CONTINUOUS SHIP UNLOADERS.
ISSUE OF PRICE OF GRAB UNLOADERS (IN SUBSTITUTION FOR CSU'S IF LATTER ARE IN END UNACCAPTABLE) CAUSES CLP GREAT CONCERN AT HIGHEST
LEVEL. BOTH GEC AND I FEEL THERE IS NO BASIS ON WHICH WE CAN
NEGOTIATE A PRICE FOR THE GRAB UNLOADERS WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THAT
IN ORIGINAL CONTRACT.
2. PLEASE INFORM BAGLEY OR IN HIS ABSENCE BICKEL AND GOVAN THAT WE
STAND TO LOSE ALL UNLOADERS IF BABCOCK CANNOT REACH ACCOMMODATION.
ALSO CLP FEELS IT CALLS INTO QUESTION CONFIDENCE IN
RELIABILITY OF CSU'S.
3. GRATEFUL IF YOU WILL DISCUSS WITH BABCOCK AND ORTON OF GECTG
AND LET ME KNOW OUTCOME BY COMING WEEKEND. KNIGHT AND I WILL HAVE
MMEETINGS WITH CLP MONDAY 5 JULY.
