For a copy of the Walter Kidde brochure, Circle 12 on Reader Service Card The Ocean 211, owned by Sonat Marine, is the largest barge ever cleaned at PAMS' Cleaning Plant. Kidde Offers Free Brochure On Marine Fire Protection Walter Kidde, Division of Kidde Inc.," 375 Main Street, Belleville N.J., is offering a free four-page bro- chure on the company's marine fire protection equipment for vessels, facilities, and other marine applica- tions. Decorated with a blazing circle of flame as a reminder of the stagger- ing financial and ecological losses a single marine fire can cause, the publication is illustrated with color photos of various types of vessels and fire protection systems. The text states that through the years Kidde's fire protection experts have met the challenge of total marine fire protection by designing systems to protect thousands of merchant ships, tankers, icebreakers, aircraft carriers, LNG tankers, container- ships, roll-on/roll-offs, etc., utilizing a variety of extinguishants and the most advanced fire protection tech- nology available. The different Kidde Marine fire protection systems are discussed, such as Halon 1301, classified as "least toxic" and considered the sa- fest gaseous extinguishing agent, providing greater personnel safety; Dry Chemical, which when used by itself or in conjunction with foam can provide ideal fire protection on any vessel where flammable liquids present a potential fire hazard; LO- EX™ foam which is an excellent extinguishing agent against fuel fires that develop on tanker decks, fuel pumping facilities, off-shore platforms and other marine facili- ties; HI-EX® foam system, which is particularly effective in extinguish- ing fires in inaccessible areas of ma- rine vessels; and Kidde's automatic carbon dioxide systems for the pro- tection of contained areas such as PAMS Installs New Drydock At Its River Plant The recently installed 1,200-ton dry-dock at PAMS' River Plant. Maritime Reporter/Engineering News Two significant events occurred at Midland/Port Allen Marine Ser- vices (PAMS) recently. The Baton- Rouge-based firm announced the installation of a new dry dock at its River Plant, located at Mile 224 on the Lower Mississippi River. The 1,200-ton drydock measures 56 feet between its wingwall and 155 feet in length. Since its placement, a series of barges has been drydocked in- cluding the Union Carbide barge. With the drydock in place, PAMS has expanded its capabilities by of- fering quick turnaround to a variety of boats and barges in the Baton Rouge Harbor. The company's River Plant con- tinues to offer topside repair work with over 600 feet of repair dock space available. In addition, PAMS will continue to provide midstream repairs to deep-draft oceangoing vessels. The Baton Rouge Harbor is also the site of PAMS Gas Freeing and Cleaning Plant which is capable of handling some 117 different chemi- cal and petroleum products. In July, this facility reached a milestone. The Cleaning Plant cleaned the largest barge to date, the Ocean 211, belonging to Sonat Marine. The barge, which is 500 feet long, 76 feet wide and 40 feet deep, was cleaned for taking on jet fuel. PAMS Cleaning Plant treats and disposes of wash waters in strict adherence to all regulations estab- lished by the Louisiana State De- partment of Natural Resources and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. PAMS continues to expand its service and facilities to meet the needs of its customers. A "total ser- vice shipyard," Port Allen Marine is a subsidiary of Midland Affilated Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
