McDermott Shipyards To Build Inter-Island Barge For Matson McDermott Shipyards has been awarded a contract by Matson Navigation Company of San Fran- cisco to build a unique, 350-foot self-unloading container/tank barge. It will be used for Matson's inter-island cargo services in the Hawaiian Islands, and will be named Haleakala for the famous mountain on Maui. The vessel will have a beam of 64 feet, depth of 21 feet 3 inches, and tank capacity for 1,700 long tons of molasses. Its deck will ac- commodate 216 standard freight containers of various sizes, includ- ing dry cargo and refrigerated boxes, and auto frames. Features of the barge will in- clude movable cell guides to se- cure containers on deck, an on- board revolving crane that will keep containers parallel with the barge during loading and unload- ing, and a radio-controlled stern thruster to assist in docking oper- ations. The vessel will be towed by a tugboat and used for transship- ping Pacific Coast-Hawaii cargo between Honolulu and the islands of Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai. The big barge will be con- structed in three sections at each of McDermott's shipyards. The bow section will be built in New Iberia, La.; the stern section with ma- chinery in Morgan City, La.; and the midbody in Gulfport, Miss. Fi- nal assembly will take place at the Morgan City yard, with comple- tion scheduled for August 1984. The McDermott shipyards spe- cialize in the construction and re- pair of large tugs, supply boats, barges, drill rigs, living quarters, and a wide variety of oceangoing work vessels.
