Of North America Receives $4-Million Increase In Title XI For Drilling Rig Western Company of North America has received approval from the Maritime Ad- ministration for an increase of $4 million in Title XI mortgage insurance covering con- struction of a semisubmersible drilling rig. Instead of the original plan to operate at 6GQ feet in the North Sea, the new plan is to drill in 1,200 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico. The increase was needed to cover additional drilling equipment necessary tn do this. The new guarantee is $28.7 million, Farrell Lines Asks Subsidy For Jumboizing Four Ships The Maritime Administration has received an application from Farrell lines Incorpo- rated of New York, N.Y., for construction subsidy to aid in rebuilding its newest con- tainerships—the AustraJ Envoy, Austral Ensign, Austral Endurance and: Austral Entente. The four ships would be enlarged by inserting a new 144-foot midbody that would provide three additional holds for refrigerated containers, and fitting new con- tainer-securing devices that would permit higher stacking on deck. Farrell Lines estimates the cost of the expansion at $12.8 million per ship. No ship- yard was named in the application. Kockums, Supertanker Shipyard, To Build New Rescue Mini-Sub Kockums, Malmo, Sweden, Europe's largest shipyard and supertanker builder, will build a mini-sub to serve as a rescue vessel for the crews of standard-size submarines dis- abled undersea. The newly designed $2,700,000 underwater rescue vessel (URV), ordered by the Swedish Defense Material Administration, will be ready for delivery in 1977. For Kockums, which for years has been producing submarines for the Royal Swedish Navy, the mini-sub will be its first. Kockums, with an eye to the future, considers the mini- sub as a step into civilian underwater tech- nology. Planners at Kockums, now turning out a series of 360,000-deadweight-ton tank- ers, believe that its experience with the rescue vessel can lead the innovative ship- yard into the growing field—demand—for small submarines for inspection of offshore oil field, underwater pipelines, etc. The URV, with a displacement of some 49 tons, will carry a crew of five—two pilots, two divers, and one engineer—-and will con- tain rescue capacity for 25 more men. Measuring 44 feet long, 14 feet at beam, and 13 feet high, the mini-sub will have a diving depth of 1,510 feet, which is the maximum depth of the Baltic Sea. The URV will have a maximum speed of 8 knots. Utilizing the air cleaning system, the URV can stay submerged for 40 hours. At 2 knots' speed, the endurance time will be 10 hours. The rescue submarine was designed, by Kockums in cooperation with Comex, the French diving company, which will also pro- duce several of the components for the URV. The URV will replace the Swedish Navy's present system involving rescue bells. The rescue submersible will be stationed and operated from the new Royal Swedish Navy Center to be constructed just south of Stockholm, and to serve as a diver training center. Comex will deliver a decompression chamber for the Center, and Kockuim will set up other installations. Experts at Kockums are to develop new welding techniques for the. hull of URV, which wfH require high tensile, steel of a type not used in Sweden up fe now. The URV will also provide several construction innovations. Once towed to the approximate area of the disabled sub, the URV will home toward the distressed vessel guided by acoustic signals* URV divers would carry out the undersea connection of tie two vessels.

The locks are being built under a $90-million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer® by a joint venture sponsored by Dravo Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa. Other participants are SX Groves & Sons Company, and Gust, K. New- burg Construction Company. Bmlthlandl Locks will be the first Ohio River navigation facility with two 1,200-foot-long chambers, which will'h'elp alleviate the congestion of increasing traffic on the river. The project, begun in July 1971, is scheduled for com- pletion in late 1975, Maritime Reporter/ Engineering News
