Raymond International Awarded $2.05 Million Puerto Rico Contract Corporacion Raymond, S.A., a subsidiary of Raymond Interna- tional Inc., Houston, Texas, has been awarded a $2,050,000 contract to install an ocean outfall sewer line off Barceloneta on the north coast erf Puerto Rico. The one-year contract involves laying 1,000 meters of 48-inch and 36-inch-diameter concrete pipe in water up to 105 feet deep. Raymond is presently complet- ing a sewer outfall project at Ponce, Puerto Rico, under a $3.6- million contract. Twin City Shipyard Has 90-Barge Backlog Totaling $11 Million John W. Lambert, president of Twin City Barge & Towing Com- pany, St. Paul, Minn., recently re- ported that its subsidiary, Twin City Shipyard, Inc., also in St. Paul, has a backlog of orders for 90 barges totaling some $11 mil- lion in sales, which will—at a pro- duction rate of about one barge per week — consume the entire barge output of the shipyard until March of 1975. The shipyard, which began pro- ducing 195-foot by 35-foot hopper barges in its newly expanded fab- rication facility on June 15, has launched and delivered six barges. Twin City Barge has served the Twin Cities areas since 1937, and Chicago since 1961. The diversified firm manufactures barges and other craft, maintains terminal storage facilities, provides harbor towing and barge fleeting services, and op- erates as a carrier of dry and liquid bulk commodities. Its operations extend from the Twin Cities and Chicago through the inland river system. Your ship can come in... at LOCKHEED!
