GLOMAR BALTIC I Marathon LeTourneau The Glomar Baltic I, first Mara- thon LeTourneau Super 300 Class jackup drilling rig, recently began its first drilling assignment in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig, which is being operated by Global Marine Company, was built at Marathon's Gulf Marine Division in Browns- ville, Texas. A new design, the Su- per 300 is a large jackup designed to work in locations with water depths and environmental conditions too severe for standard 300-foot water depth jackups but not hostile enough to require a Marathon Go- rilla Class rig.

Monitors and alarms are International Electronics Ltd./16- point system, horns are by Kahlen- berg, and running and navigation lights are by Perko.

"FIREBOAT" MonArk Boat The City of Memphis, Tenn., at mid-84 placed in service a new fire- boat built by MonArk Boat Compa- ny of Monticello, Ark. The Mem- phis Fire Department specified two major requirements when ordering the new boat; the craft should be small enough for trailer mobility but also large enough to handle the vari- ety of marine fire problems that confront the department. The all-aluminum vessel is pow- ered by twin Cummins model 6BT high-speed, marine diesel engines. Each engine has an output of 152 bhp at 2,500 rpm. A third identical diesel drives the boat's fire pump, Hale model 60FJ-M rated at 1,200 gallons per minute. These diesels are the first Cummins engines of this model and type installed in a workboat application; they are part of the new Cummins small B-series, fuel-efficient engines. The new craft, which has attained a speed of 28 mph upstream and 33 mph downstream, will be based at the Memphis Fire Department's downtown headquarters. It will re- main on the trailer at all times except when it is responding to fire Whole again > Experience counts and Todd Shipyards Corporation has expertly performed damage repairs on thousands of ships since its incorporation.
