J. Ray McDermott
Celebrates 50 Years 1956: Elvis released his first album; the film debut of
Invasion of the Body Snatch- ers was frightening American audiences; My Fair Lady opened on Broadway; and J.
Ray McDermott began opera- tions at the offshore industry's first dedicated steel fabrication yard near Morgan City, Louisiana. Among the major events of early 1956, many are now trivia, but the Morgan City "fab yard" continues to have a profound and lasting effect on the region and the world. Since its humble beginnings on April 1, 1956, J. Ray's Morgan City fabrication facility has built more offshore structures than any other fabrication facility and has served as the model for new offshore fabri- cation yards around the globe.

Robert Allan Designs
Fireboats for NYC
In July 2005, the Fire Depart- ment of New York (FDNY) awarded a contract for the design of their new fast response fireboats to Robert Allan Ltd. of Vancouver, BC.
The design team has been working closely with the FDNY project team finalizing the functional requirements for the vessel, assessing alternatives, and developing the concept design. In March 2006, the project completed a value engi- neering process, during which a panel of independent marine and fire-fighting industry experts reviewed the proposed design and, in concert with the Robert Allan Ltd. and FDNY design teams, assessed a variety of suggested options. The design process is now moving ahead to the design stage.

Main Iron Works, Houma, La., the 100 x 38 x 13.5 ft., Alma
S. is powered by two EMD 16-645E6 main engines, pro- ducing 2150 hp, each at 900 rpm, which drive two Ulstein-
