[edit] Are they still in-use today or not?

The article seems to be contradicting itself, it state towards the end of the history part that... "Although the end of WW II marked the end of large-scale ferro-cement ship building, to this day, smaller recreational boats are still being made from ferro-cement.". So this implies that they are still in-use and new ones still being built. However the "Today" section of the article says..."Concrete ships are no longer in use as ships.". So comes the contradiction and confusion. So are they actually in-use today or not? (I'm adding a Contradictory template to the article because of this). --Hibernian 20:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] differences between barges and ships

The article mixes barges and ships together, maybe they are a different category. Concrete barges are still in use today and being built, in the Netherlands that is, but these aren't exactly ships. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.122.157 (talk) 11:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
