Trinity Marine To Build Fourth Supply Boat For U.S. Owner Oil & Gas Rental Services, Inc., Morgan City, La., has exercised its option with Halter Marine, Inc., Lockport, La., to build a fourth 220- foot all-steel offshore supply boat. Construction and delivery of the $5- million-plus boat will be in 1991. In June 1990, the two companies announced a three-vessel contract, saying that they would be the first of their type designed and built from the keel-up since the downturn in the offshore energy industries in the early 1980s. John Dane III, president of the Trinity Marine Group, which in- cludes Halter Marine, said, "The exercise of this option is encourag- ing because it is a sign of a return to a more normal pattern of commer- cial shipbuilding activity." Like her sisters, the new vessel will have an overall length of 220 feet, beam of 44 feet and 16-foot depth. She will be powered by two GM EMD 16-645-C diesel engines, rated at 1,950 hp each at 900 rpm.

Oceaneering will provide and op- erate a 78,000-dwt FPSOI, including the hookup to the wells and offload- ing systems for the shuttle tankers. The system, which will be installed using a disconnectable six-point spread mooring, will be able to pro- cess up to 15,000 barrels of oil per day and will handle production from two wells in the field. Ocea- neering will serve as the production contractor, responsible for all engi- neering, vessel conversion, procure- ment, project management, installa- tion, operation, and removal of the system following expiration of the least period. The system will then become available for leasing to other operators. Oceaneering International, Inc., together with its affiliate compa- nies, is one of the world's largest underwater services companies. Marine Industries Northwest Repowers Washington State Ferry Marine Industries Northwest, Inc., of Tacoma, Wash., recently re- powered the 124-foot car ferry M/V Guenemes for Skagit County, Washington. The primary conversion work on the double-ended ferry consisted of removing two existing skid- mounted angle drive propulsion units and related steerage systems. The new propulsion units consist of GM-Detroit Diesel 12V 92 turbo- charged engines powering Ulstein Maritime outboard type right angle Z drive with 360-degree rotatable steerage system. The power upgrade installation required engine founda- tion fabrication, strengthening of hull brackets for outdrive attache- ments, extension of engine jacket water skin coolers, sea chest up- grades, and modifications to fuel, hydraulic, cooling, and ballast pip- ing systems. The pilothouse control console was rebuilt to accommodate a new control panel for the propulsion/ steering units. The Guenemes, with a capacity for 19 vehicles and 102 passengers, provides service between the city of Anacortes and Guenemes Island.
