Southwest Marine Awarded $9.68 Million Contract Southwest Marine, Inc. has been awarded a contract worth $9,680,046 by the U.S. Military Sealift Com- mand for the drydocking and over- haul of the ammunition ship USNS Kilauea. The vessel works with the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific and this is reported to be the first time in 10 years that it has been in the U.S. Most of the overhaul work will be devoted to the underway replenish- ment winches which will be replaced with winches that conform to U.S. Navy standards. Unrep controls and control booths will also be replaced. The overhaul will be performed by Southwest Marine San Pedro and drydocking will take place in San Diego. While in drydock, a complete pro- pulsion inspection will be performed, as well as the replacement of a pro- peller which was damaged when the vessel ran aground during Operation Desert Strom. The hull will be painted and repairs to living spaces will also be performed.
