Other companies that have recently adopted them are the New Zealand Shipping Company, Ltd. the British India Steam Navigation Company, Ltd., and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Pacific Coast shipyards will have the exclusive right to bid on the building of a huge floating steel dry dock for the naval station at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii.
