The board of directors of Gulf

Coast Fabrication, Inc. has an- nounced the election of Dan Mor- timer as president of the new company which has acquired an existing shipyard site in Pass

Christian, Miss. The company will engage in all phases of marine construction, primarily offshore deck barges.

Speaking of the company's plans, Mr. Mortimer said: "We expect to grow in controlled stages to above 100 employees in the coming year. Our current plans are to launch our first barge by September and deliver a 180-foot unit no less than monthly thereafter. By creating a production capacity predicted upon cost-effective techniques and equipment, with building a well- trained and motivated group of craftsmen we will position our- selves to offer very competitive prices and on-time deliveries."
