O&K Shipyard Awarded Contract To Construct Hopper Suction Dredge The German contractor Hocktief AG of Essen has placed an order with O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG in Lubeck for a 2,400-cubic-meter hopper suction dredge. This con- tract will contribute to continuing employment for the shipbuilding in- dustry in the north of the Federal Republic of Germany, and at the same time it gives the O&K yard fol- low-up business that will utilize a substantial portion of its capacity until the middle of 1985. The powerful twin-screw dredge will have an overall length of 270.34 feet, molded beam of 52.5 feet, and depth to main deck of 16.9 feet. Two diesel engines will provide a total output of 6,977 bhp and a full-load speed of 12 knots. The vessel is being built according to the rules of Germanischer Lloyd for Class +100 A4 Dredger =MC AUT. Delivery has been scheduled for August 1985. Circle 262 on Reader Service Card-> BFGoodrich Offers New Brochure On Cutless Line Of Rubber Bearings The complete line of Cutless® brand rubber bearings is the subject of a new two-color, four-page bro- chure from BFGoodrich of Akron, Ohio. Featuring an exclusive water wedge design and broad application flexibility, Cutless rubber bearings are a product of years of research and development by BFGoodrich and Lucian Q. Mofhtt, Inc. The bearings' water wedge design provides maximum lubrication for both bearing and shaft. Tough but resilient, rubber bearings are resis- tant to oil, grease, and most chemi- cal solutions, and have a very low coefficient of friction when wet. Ide- al for marine and industrial applica- tions, they are said to last many times longer than hard-surfaced bearings. Particularly helpful in this new brochure are details of Cutless brand bearings designs. Bearings are available with either metal or non-metallic shells. Those with metal backing come in either a full- molded style of solid or split design, or in a segmented style. Also avail- able is information on BFGoodrich's recently patented FE (fiberglass epoxy) bearing.

We launched a new era in offshore drilling. It's an era in which super-efficient Marathon equipment will help you meet today's special environmental challenges. With rigs like our new Super 300. We've designed the Super 300 specifically for the harsh environment. Where conditions demand special endurance from a rig... but where larger, costlier equipment is just too much iron for the job. And we've incorporated unique operating features that make drilling more efficient than ever. Fea- tures like our unique Slotilever® that allows drilling in slot or can- tilever mode. This permits a 40-well pattern from an area of 24 by 70 feet. And contin- ued drilling even under survival conditions. The Super 300 gets its technological ped- igree from our hostile- environment Gorilla. And, like the Gorilla, the Super 300 is designed to work its territory expertly, thor- oughly, and cost-efficiently. And work it like a son-of- a-gun.
