Seatrain Shipyard can meet or beat the competi- tion in three critical areas: • facilities • price • on time delivery Seatrain builds barges using the same panel lines, the same efficient assembly facilities and the same cost-effective material flow methods and fabricating procedures that produced the 225,000 dwt "Brook- lyn" and "Williamsburgh"—then the two largest tank- ers ever built in the U.S. Seatrain completed the first of eight 8,300 dwt oceangoing barges for Bulk Food Carriers, Inc.— each 300 feet long with a 90-foot beam and 22-foot draft—within six months of the contract signing, and we are delivering one each month thereafter. On time. Seatrain began cutting steel within 30 days of a contract to produce a unique icebreaker barge for Crowley Maritime Corp. The icebreaker was due within five months of startup. That schedule is on time. Obviously, Seatrain cannot commit to deliver every order within six months. But what we commit we will deliver on time. Our large drydocks and enclosed pre-assembly facilities enable us to produce barges efficiently and at highly competitive costs. Before you commit for your next barges, call Allan Glaser, Vice President, Seatrain Shipbuilding Corp. Ask for our commitment. 0 Seatrain Shipbuilding Corp.
