The rigs shown are the Comanche (in the dock) and Marlin 4 (left), which were both built by Bethlehem at its nearby Beaumont Yard, and the semisubmersible rig Diamond M New Era. All three rigs were dry- docked for repairs and inspection. Since the Sabine Yard began op- erations in August 1985, the facility has serviced a total of six ships and four rigs. The yard's floating dry- dock is one of the nation's largest, and is said to be the only one in the world that can be configured in eith- er a ship or rig mode.
