Exciting news for our readers ... the Company has just
placed orders in Holland for five new ships, four of
which will be delivered during the course of next year.
The vessels will be known as the STRAAT A class and
their names will be announced at a later date.
The approximate main particulars of these full scantling
type motor vessels, illustrated in the line d rawings above,
are as follows:-
Ba le space - 690,000 cu. ft. (including reefer &

13,105 tons
Six cylinder Stork engines of 13,500 b.h.p. will propel
the STRAAT A ships at a speed of 20 knots.
LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS CARRIER
Company participation
Another interesting aspect has been added to RIL's
va ried ship ping activities by participation in a specialized
L.P.G. (Liquid Petroleum Gas) carrier. The ship, which
has been ordered from a German yard, will be fitted out
for the carriage of liquified anhydrous ammonia, butane,
butadiene, propane, propylene and similar cargoes in
bulk at low temperature and near atmospheric pressure.
The main characteristics of the vessel a re a sing le hu ll,
The new vessels will be of the 'open hatch' design and
will have triple hatches at holds 3, 4 and 5 which will
not only accelerate cargo operations but also make them
suitable for the carriage of containerised and unitised
cargoes.
Orders have been placed for these ships at VEROLME
UN ITED SHIPYARDS and VAN DER GIESSEN - DE
NOORD, N.V., in Holland. Deliveries are expected to
take place as follows :ex.
Verolme - 15th July, 1968
ex. Van der Giessen 15th September, 1968
ex. Verolme - 30th November, 1968
ex. Van der Giessen - 3 I st December, 1968
ex. Verolme - 31st May, 1969
The STRAA T A vessels are scheduled for service on
RIL's Austra lia- Africa routes.
So it looks as though 1968 will go down in the Company's
history as a record year for new ships, with 3 STRAA T
H vessels being delivered in Japan and 4 STRAA T A
vessels in Holland.
double bottom and self-supporting tanks. The cargo
tanks will have a gross capacity of approximately 29,200
m 3 , and the engine room and crew accommodation will
be located aft. The engine room and gas installation
will be fully automated and bridge control wi ll be fitted.
The delivery of the vessel, in which Messrs. SMN, KRL
and Rl L will participate, is expected to take place about
May 1968.

jumboizing, damage repair and all types of
engine repair. The dockyard has two drydocks,
one of which, pictured left in the above photograph,
can accommodate sh ips in the I 00,000
DWT class.
The capacity for ship repair at Asano exceeds
4,000,000 GT, giving it the world 's highest per
dock capability. Machinery and related components
are also manufactured at this ya rd.

CARGOES
From Japan
bound for the River Plate
Captain S. Oka, Port Captain Kobe, sent us this photograph (right) of 'Straat
Florida' using her own gear to load machinery for an oil refinery plant at
La Plata. The vessel carried 750 long tons on the December sailing.
FLEET
Tjikampek wi ll leave the East Africa-Far East Service

Straat Malakka after her intermediate voyage to the
Far East, has been rescheduled to give the April sailing
in the EAFS and not in the CHEAS as previously
announced.
Straat Soenda will give the July sailing in the CHEAS.
Van Spilbergen will leave the ANZS to be worked from
Africa to the Far East in extra employment for jumboizing
towards the end of March.
Straat Luanda on completion of her jumboizing, will
proceed to Africa to enter the Africa-New Zealand
Service (ANZS) in early April.

They a re still valued as 'ships of the desert' in the Gulf
countries.
FACTS
Boisseva in en route for the Far East, wil l call at Tamatave
to collect passengers for Hong Kong.
Straat Chatham will leave the ANZS 1n mid-April and
will commence loading on the East & South Africa­
Australia berth (ESAAS).
Tjipanas has been sold for continued trading and will be
delivered to her new owners before the end of March.
What's in a name 7 Straat Towa
Mr G.O.M. Boot informed us from Kobe that the name
'Towa' has an interesting meaning in Japanese:
'TO' 'East'
'WA' = 'Peace' o r 'Co-operation'
Therefore the name 'Towa ' can be translated as 'Eastern
Peace' or 'Eastern Co-operation'.

SINGAPORE
PRESENTS
'MISS RIL'
Every year Singapore holds a Tourist Week, when a
wide variety of functions is organized by the Singapore
Tourist Promotion Board to promote tourism to the Island
Republic, which, because of its mixed population, is
sometimes called " Instant Asia".
The 1966 Tourist Week was held in November and
culminated in a regatta, described by the local press as
'three days of fun'. The Esplanade was converted into
a showpiece, with an exhibition of outboard motors, a
food fa ir, side shows and variet y concerts featuring local
cu ltural dances, comic sketches and magic shows.

1966
From our correspondent
Mr. J. J. M. Lensing
The regatta on the final day was opened by the Minister
for Cultural and Social Affa irs, lnche Othma n Wok. A
special attraction of the day, in addition to the races,
was a parade of 14 floats sponsored by the leading
shipping Companies in Singapore . At the head of the
water parade was the newly elected 'Miss Tourism
Singapore', followed by t he two runners-up in the competition.
Each of the remaining floats carried a bikini
clad model, representing one of t he shipping companies.
RIL was very charmingly represented by Miss Helen
Kim, who was given the title of ' Miss RIL'. All the
models wore sashes bearing the name of the company
and the floats were decorated with Company flags and
banners.

RETIREMENT IN MANILA
Mr Abraham M. de Leon
Rl L Post correspondent, Mr. V.E. Paz,
reporrs:
December 29t h, 1966 was Mr Abraham M. de Leon's
last day in the Manila office, after close-on 37 years
service with the Company. Even on this last day he
devoted himself to his office duties in his usual responsible
manner, finally completing the cargo statistics for
the 1966 Yearly Report.
An official farewell was said to Mr de Leon by Mr
A.L. de Jong on the same evening during t he t raditional
year-end gathering of staff members and families.
In a speech durin g d in ner, Mr de Jong b ri efly recalled
the career of Mr de Leon who joined the Company in
1930. With only a short break during the war years
he served R.I. L. continuously and faithfully in various
capacities, most recently as Senior Clerk in the Outward
Freight Department. Mr de J ong mentio ned that during
the 7 months he had worked with Mr de Leon, he could
we ll understand why he was so respected as a colleague
a nd a f rie nd by all office members.
Mr de Leon has given the Company 'an honest day's
work' for well over I 0,000 days and even on his very
last day in office he did not slow down, but continued
to be active.
all', but when he first entered the Straat van Diemen on his long
legs, he walked straight into the he arts of everyone and certainly
right into the heart of 'Old J an'.
Let me t ell you something of this remarkable ship's dog who
ea rned his food by kee ping our accommodation free from uninvited
guests - specializing in the type that were on unofficial business
during the night- and by kee ping everyone happy!
H e was always ready to rom p and play with any me mber of the
crew, a nd if he was re ally in the mood, usually around 9 p.m., he
even liked a game of chess. He was a poor player and always
lost. I am sure that those who knew Mie l will smile when they
read this because everyone had a lot of fun whe n he showed his
a bility in the game to passe ngers on board.
Miel did not like music very much, hated tape recorders as if
they were cats a nd couldn't stand the sound of the carpenter's
violin. Like everyone, he loved parties and being a teetotaler,
he indulged in food, with peanuts as his favourit e. He was part
of the ship's routine, be it Saturday inspection or an unscheduled
visit to the engine room, Miel was a lways there and if possi ble
a minute ahead of you.
Mr A.L. de Jong, Manager of the Philippines, saying
goodbye to Mr de Leon and wishing him all the best for
the futllre.
The speaker was happy to announce that Managing
Directors, as a token of the Company's appreciation,
offered Mr and Mrs de Leon a complimenta ry ticket for
a round-trip Manila-Japan-Hong Kong-Manila on
one of the Company's vessels.
Concluding, Mr de Jong wished Mr de Leon and his
family a ll the best in t he future, requesting him to drop
into the office for a chat for o ld t ime's sake, whenever
he passes.
Mr de Leon replied by thanking RIL through Mr and
Mrs de Jong, and also everyone present for all they
had done for him and urged t hem all to do their best
for the Company in the future.
It may be interesting to know t hat with the retirement
of Mr Abraham M. de Leon, his fami ly name has not
disappeared from the Manila staff list: in J anuary 1966,
his son Pedrito joined RI L's Manila office as Junior Clerk.
Coming from a "good nest" we are confident that a
pleasant de LeonjR IL association can be continued.
His 'welcome home' was something not easily forgotten. He usually
took more than ten minut es to show you how glad he was to see
you back again, almost ruining your suit in the process.
The quietness was almost painful the evening the Captain and I
came back and Miel was not there with his usual 'He llo!'. A tour
over the ship, a long wa lk over the wharf in Santos until the early
hours of the new day we re of no avail. The reward which was
offered to the Brazilia n worke rs for his return was still in my pocket
whe n we left Sa ntos harbour. G reat was my surprise when we
had a cable from the Captain of the Tegelberg, informing us
that Miel was on board his ship .
The return of Miel to the Straat van Die men in J a pan was witnessed
by C hief Enginee r H . Meyer, 'Old Jan', the original owner.
How he came to be left behind or how he was able to p ick out
an RIL ship again will remain a mystery. O ne thing is sure, like
so ma ny others he liked to- Relax in Lu xury- maybe that's why.
Not only the editor of RIL Post is curious to know where Miel
is now, but also your re porter "Young Jan".

THE FUNCTION OF A
MANAGING DIRECTOR
As nearly everyone knows, a director has practically nothing to do
except to decide what is to be done, to tell somebody to do it,
to li sten to reason (a) why it should not be done, (b) why it
should be done by someone else, or (c) why it should be done
in a different way : to follow up and see if the thing has been
done, to discover that it has not, to inquire why, to lis+en to
excuses from the person who sh ou ld have done it: to follow up
again to see if the thing has been done, only to d iscover that
it has been done incorrectly; to point out how it should have
been done and to conclude that as long as it has been done, it
may as we ll be left as it is: to wonder if it is· not time to get
rid of a person who cannot do a thing right, to reflect that he
probably has a wife and a large family and that certainly any
successor would be just as bad and maybe worse: to consider how
much simpler and better the thing would have been done if ono
had done it oneself in the first place and to reflect sadly that
one could have concluded the matter •n 20 min utes and not had
to spend two days fi nding out how it has taken someone e lse
three weeks to do it wrongly!
Any volu nteers for Managing Director?
