ABS Publishes 1980 Rules On Building And Classing Offshore Drilling Rigs The American Bureau of Ship- ping (ABS) has published the 1980 edition of Rides for Build- ing and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units. The "Rules" will be applicable to units contracted after November 1, 1980. In this third edition, there is a new appendix containing spe- cific material selection guidelines applicable to any mobile offshore drilling unit based on the type of unit and intended operating environment. Another new ap- pendix describes the procedures and conditions under which a properly conducted underwater inspection of a mobile offshore drilling unit may be credited as a drydocking survey. The section of the "Rules" con- cerning surveys after construc- tion has been considerably ex- panded to include detailed de- scriptions of hull areas and ma- chinery subject to ABS survey. There is extensive updated infor- mation in sections that describe standards regarding watertight bulkheads and flats, welding, ma- chinery, pumps and piping sys- tems, electrical installations, and safety features. Copies can be ordered ($20 each) from the Book Order Sec- tion, American Bureau of Ship- ping, 65 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10006, or from other ABS offices. Nlizl's nose is harder than his hat. It's hard to beat our Shipyard. Because we have so many hardnoses. Like Dick Nizzi. A leaderman in our Outside Machinists department. When Nizzi runs a job he grabs hold like a Georgia Bulldog. And if need be he'll chew a few tails, too. Until he's 100% satisfied. Then you know it's right. That's what a top leaderman has to do if he's going to cut the mustard in Savannah. We've built our reputation by being mustard-cutters.Tough, reliable, persistent, and fast. That's the Savannah "edge." We all know major shipyards (us included) have cranes, drydocks, and specialized shops. But all yards don't have dedicated, hardnosed workers like ours. Savannah Machine and Shipyard. We do scheduled drydocking, voyage repairs, and major conversions. And you get Nizzi's nose in the bargain. The Savannah Yard. Savannah Shipyard Co. RO. Box 787 Savannah, Georgia 31402 Tel.
