Intracoastal Shipyard, Morgan City, La., delivered a 120'×30'×7' deck barge recently to Tand G Barge Lines. Under construction at the yard last month was another barge of the same dimensions, for stock. What may be a record for a year's work by a pair of Mississippi River towboats is claimed for the 190'×48' towboats Patrick Calhoun Jr. and the J.E. Alquist, sister vessels owned by American Commercial Barge Line Co. and its affiliate Commercial Transport Corp. Each boat ran 346 full days during the first year of full-scale operations in 1961. A new 187', $2 million oceano-graphic and fishery research vessel, the first of its kind in the U.S., was completed recently at Southern Shipbuild- ing Co., Slidell, La. The boat was designed by Boston-based Dwight S. Simpson and Associates. |
