The first of two 276'×50'×12' self-unloading cement barges being built for Marquette Cement Manufacturing Co., Chicago, was launched recently at the Higgins Inc. shipyard in New Orleans. With hoppers extending 13.5' above its deck, it has a total capacity of 15,000 bbls. Equipment aboard the barges includes Caterpillar D-330 generator sets, Fuller pumps driven by Cat D-353 diesels, and Fuller compressors powered by Cat D-333 engines. The unloading systems are of the air-slide type. Intercoastal Shipyard Inc., Morgan City, La., has been awarded contracts recently calling for construction of a 130'×32'×7' welded steel barge and two 49'6"×18' steel tugs. A 330', self-propelled petroleum products tanker was christened at Ingalls Iron Works Co. recently for Sinclair Refining Co. |
