Box 798 • Waukesha, Wisconsin 53186 AMERICA'S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF BEARINGS AND SEALS FOR MARINE AND POWER INDUSTRIES. Dearborn-Storm To Add Two New Vessels Totaling $4.5 Million Dearborn-Storm Corporation, Chicago, 111., has announced plans for two major additions to its ma- rine service fleet as part of the company's program of continued expansion in the offshore petroleum services industry. The vessels will be built in the United States at a combined cost of about $4.5 million for delivery in early 1974. Each vessel will be 200 feet in overall length, and each will be powered by twin engines capable of develop- ing 9,000 horsepower. As such, they will rank among the world's larg- est and most powerful petroleum support vessels, capable of heavy- duty operations in remote areas of the world under the most severe weather conditions. Arthur Weiss, Dearborn-Storm president, said: "As the search for oil and gas is pushed into deeper waters, further away from establ- ished supply bases, there will be a growing need for the more modern, powerful support vessels of the type we are building. Their addi- tion to our fleet of 33 vessels will enhance our ability to successfully operate anywhere in the world." St. Louis Ship To Build 3 Towboats For ARTCO In a recent joint announcement, Richard B. Yeomans, manager of the marine department for Ameri- can River Transportation Co., and Anthony Tobin, vice president of the St. Louis Ship Division of Pott Industries, revealed that American River Transportation Co. has ordered three 8,400-hp tow- boats from the St. Louis, Mo.-based shipbuilding firm. All vessels will feature the fam- ous St. Louis Ship exclusive Hy- drodyne hulls, and the latest Kort nozzle designs. The hulls will mea- sure 200 feet by 50 feet by 11 feet 6 inches, and the propulsion will be with Electro-Motive 16-645 E-5 turbocharged diesel engines. De- livery of the three towboats is scheduled for early 1974. American River Transportation Co., formed January 1, 1972, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland Company. During 1972 and 1973, they will have con- structed and/or acquired a total of 215 barges. The firm also charters on a long-term basis an additional 60 dry bulk barges. ARTCO is also headquartered in St. Louis. ... like this 75 hp. totally en- closed, fan-cooled pump mo- tor, for instance. It's built to MIL-M-17060C to withstand high shock and all the environ- mental bad news you get on the high seas. It's just one example of what we can do for you. We've been building special marine and Navy motors and Motor-Generator systems for more than 50 years and we build them to spec — Navy, Coast Guard, IEEE, ABS, you name it. All you have to do is outline your requirements and we'll take it from there. TTECH SYSTEMS CORP.
