The contract will accelerate plans to resume manufac- turing at the Jeffersonville, Ind.- based shipyard. Construction of the 300-foot by 54-foot tankers is scheduled to start this month, with delivery targeted to begin in late 1989. Negotiations are also under way for additional new construction.

In addition to the employee recall, Jeffboat still plans to add approxi- mately 140 more employees to its work force later in the year. Pre- viously, the company had projected reopening its towboat and barge construction operations and adding about 200 new jobs during the third quarter.
