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.
