A Tidewater Company Promet Gets Orders From Sedco, Sun Contractors For Four Drilling Units Promet Private Limited of Singapore, in collaboration with Baker Marine Corpora- tion of Ingleside, Texas, has announced the signing of contracts with Sedco, Inc. of Dal- las to construct two self-elevating, canti- lever beam mobile drilling platforms. These repeat orders from Sedco follow a contract won by Promet early in 1980 to construct a 151 by 156 by 18-foot platform that is scheduled for delivery in March 1981. Baker's responsibility lies in the design and engineering of the platforms, and fur- nishing to Promet all structural design drawings and system schematics required for construction according to the standards of the American Bureau of Shipping. Construction has begun on the first rig and the second will be started in March 1981, with deliveries scheduled for the first half of 1982. Both rigs will measure 174 by 162.5 by 18 feet, and will have three inde- pendent truss legs 301.5 feet long. The units will be raised and lowered by means of Baker Marine rack and pinion electro- hydraulic drives. Both BMC 200 I.C. class jackups will op- erate in water depths up to 200 feet, and will have a jacking speed of 60 feet per hour. Each rig will have 10,800 short tons of total holding capacity in drilling position. De- signed with three-level quarters, each rig will provide accommodations for 70 person- nel. At the same time, Promet announced re- ceipt of contracts from Sun Contractors for construction of two four-legged jackup barges — making a total of three units of that type and two three-legged barges or- dered from Promet by Sun Contractors. The latest barges ordered will measure 130 by 69 by 10 feet, and are scheduled for deliv- ery in September 1981 and January 1982.

In a departure from previous years, the general theme of the two-day conference was based on the experience of American shipowners with medium- and slow-speed diesel engines, including operations, main- tenance, fuels, training, spares, and other aspects. Moderators for the four sessions were: Perry W. Nelson, executive vice president, M. Rosenblatt & Son; Barry K. Brown of Worth Shipping Services; Robert J.
