P.O. Box 1069 - Area Code: 919 Phone: (919) 637-2500 This four-legged, mobile jackup rig, 165 feet by 140 feet by 18 feet, is the first built by Promet for The Offshore Company. To date, this is the second project awarded to Promet by the company. The first project was for a conversion job at Abu Dhabi for the jackup rig Bahram. Promet completed the modifications in 28 days. The Offshore Jupiter is a versatile rig suited for areas such as the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico. Equipped with re- cessed tank footings, it has a maximum water depth capability of 150 feet and a shallow water entry depth of 12 to 14 feet, plus a full cantilever capability for work- over/completion drilling operations. The platform includes a cambered deck steel hull about 18 feet deep and is sup- ported by four tubular caisson type legs. It can house 82 men on three levels above deck, and is classed by the American Bureau of Shipping and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard. Still on the orderbook at Promet are two jackup barges for Sun Contractors, and rigs for Sedco Inc., Zapata Offshore, Drilling Investment Ltd., and Arabian Drilling. 52 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News ACBL Towboat 'W.T. Toutant' Launched At Jeffboat Shipyard With a crack of the champagne bottle, Mrs. William T. (Eileen) Toutant recently christened the new towboat named to honor her husband at the Jeffboat, Incorporated shipyard in Jeffersonville, Ind. The new tow- boat, W.T. Toutant, is a 6,000-bhp vessel constructed by Jeffboat for its sister com- pany, American Commercial Barge Line Company (ACBL). Both companies are part of the Inland Waterways Division of Texas Gas Transmission Corporation. The vessel was decked out in bright pen- nants and a fresh coat of orange primer for the occasion. Immediately after the chris- tening ceremony, the order was given to cut the ropes, and the Toutant slid down the Jeffboat launchways into the Ohio River. When she is completed and outfitted, the Toutant will go into service moving Western coal from ACBL's Hall Street Terminal in St. Louis to the Cajun Electric Cooperative's coal dock in New Roads, La. The Toutant is named for William T. Toutant, vice president of engineering at Jeffboat. He is an alumnus of the U.S. Na- val Academy, and has graduate degrees in engineering and business from Syracuse University and the University of Louisville. He is a registered professional engineer, a retired commander in the Naval Reserve, and is active in several technical and pro- fessional organizations. Mr. Toutant began his career with Jeffboat as a naval architect in 1959, and held sev- eral related positions before being named a vice president in 1977. During his time with Jeffboat he has been instrumental in the de- sign and development of the 5,000-, 5,600-, 8,400- and now the 6,000-horsepower class towboats. He has also provided guidance and engineering management in specialized equipment, including the Mississippi Queen and ferries Jeffboat constructed for Alaska and Texas. Promet Launches Its Biggest Jackup For Offshore Company Sponsor at recent christening of towboat W.T. Toutant was Mrs. Eileen Toutant. Vessel was named to honor her husband William T. Toutant, right. The recent christening of Offshore Jupiter (shown above) was of great significance to Promet, as this is the largest rig christened to date at its yard in Jurong, Singapore. The ceremony was performed by Mrs. Audrey Richardson, wife of George T. Richardson, president and chief operating officer, The Offshore Company of Houston. Mrs. William T.
