The Maritime Administration has approved in principle an ap- plication from Houston Offshore

Limited IV, a subsidiary of Hous- ton Offshore International, Hous- ton, for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of a jackup drilling barge.

Bethlehem Steel Corporation,

The approved Title XI guaran- tee amount of $21,607,000 repre- sents 75 percent of the barge's $28,810,000 estimated actual cost.
