lecting agent, from the port and/ or starboard bow. A 100-barrel-capacity heated reclaimed oil stowage tank is in- tegrated in each pontoon of the catamaran hull. The vessel is equipped with all the necessary navigational equip- ment, consisting of two radios— one Raytheon RAY 58A VHF- FM, one Raytheon RAY 1209C- SSB over-the-horizon communica- tor, 100-w; and a depth sounder- recorder, Raytheon model DE- 719B, with a Raytheon 724A mod- el transducer. This vessel is the second to be fitted with the Petro Mop system. The first was the Limpiamar, also owned by The Lake Committee. Both vessels operate on the zero- relative velocity (ZRY) principle, i.e. the mops are stationary, or move very slowly, with respect to the water's surface. The operat- ing speed of the vessel can be as much as four knots and main- tain the ZRV. The positioning of the mops on the water's surface is controlled by a hydraulically powered return system. With this unique hydraulic re- turn system, the mops can be properly positioned to reclaim oil from relatively rough seas, flot- sam and debris, and ice floes. Field experience indicates up to 98 percent efficiency in recovering floating oil under less than ideal conditions. The oil has varied in gravity from API 16° to API 42° in actual operations. Ambient temperatures have been tropical in all operations. At the present, more vessels using similar systems as in the Limpiamar and Marlimpia are being designed by Centrifugal Systems, Inc. for delivery in 1982. Centrifugal Systems, Inc. is a Houston company oriented in oil spill machinery for picking up or dispersing oil spills. Approve Title XI Guarantee For Two Towboats Costing Over $3 Million The Maritime Administration has approved in principle an ap- plication by Parker Towing Co., Inc., Tuscaloosa, Ala., for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of two towboats, the M/V Charles Haun and an- other, designated Towboat No. 2. Each vessel will have a length overall of 85 feet, a molded beam of 34 feet, and will be rated at 2,000 hp. Hudson Shipbuilders, Inc., Pascagoula, Miss., and Mis- sissippi Marine Towboat Corp., Greenville, Miss., are the build- ers of the vessels. The M/V Charles Haun was delivered in September; Towboat No. 2 is scheduled for delivery this month. Both vessels are expected to be employed on the Black Warrior- Tombigbee River system and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The Title XI guarantee covers $2,272,000 or about 75 percent of the estimated actual cost of $3,034,589. Imperial Oil Planning Semisub Drilling Rig With 6,000-Foot Capability Plans for a semisubmersible offshore drilling unit capable of drilling in waters up to 6,000 feet deep are being finalized by Imperial Oil Ltd., a subsidiary of Esso Resources, Canada, Ltd. The rig will be used for a multi- well drilling program off the coasts of Newfoundland and Lab- rador. According to a company spokesman, the objective is to in- sure as much Canadian input as possible on the design, construc- tion, ownership, and operation of the rig. At this stage of development, Imperial is looking at the possi- bility of having an international consortium involved in the rig's construction, and is evaluating design proposals. It is anticipated that all the details involving the rig will be completed by early 1982. The semisubmersible will be similar to the dynamically posi- tioned Sedco 709, but incorporat- ing larger deck space. The target date for completion of the rig is mid-1983.
