Halter Awards Contract For $3.5 Million To Gulf Coast Refrigeration

Gulf Coast R e f r i g e r a t i o n and Motor Service, Inc. of Houma, La., recently signed the largest contract in its history to install heating and air-conditioning systems in the seven catamaran-style tugs (CATUGS) under construction by Halter Marine, Inc.

George Arceneaux, vice president of Gulf Coast Refrigeration, said the contract, in excess of $3.5 million, would extend over a two-year period as the giant tugs are built.

Mr. Arceneaux said Carrier chill-water systems would be installed in the CATUGS.

Each vessel will have 47.5 tons of primary air-conditioning and another 47.5 tons of reserve air-conditioning.

The circulating hot-water heating system in each tug is rated at 1.2 million BTU.

Gulf Coast R e f r i g e r a t i o n recently opened an office in Mobile, Ala., to handle the CATUG workload. Halter Marine builds the integrated tugs at its Chickasaw, Ala., division.

Gulf Coast Refrigeration installs heating and air-conditioning systems in supply boats and tugs built by Halter Marine and other Southern shipyards. The 14-year-old refrigeration company also maintains offices in Pascagoula, Miss., and its main location in Houma, La.
