0 a person or company that owns a ship or ships: --
In this case, the shipowner is responsible for the oil-leak from the tanker.
Shipowners will make far less money if the control comes off.
I am in no way defending the shipowners, but there is no objection on the part of the shipowners on the question of cost.
Taking even a short-term view, the inconvenience of it to the most grasping shipowner very considerably outweighs the advantages.
The shipowners felt that this figure was too low.
The company's prospects of obtaining further contracts depend on negotiations with shipowners which are a matter of commercial confidentiality.
We are surrounded, therefore, by the practical shipowners of this country, and they are all making their contribution.
With these, of course, shipowners have no concern.
We shall welcome every sign that the shipowners are seeking new and more efficient methods both of constructing and running their ships.
