MARCO-Seattle Yard Busy

With Fishing Vessel

Construction, Conversion

MARCO's Seattle, Washington, shipyard recently began the con- struction of two new freezer longlin- ers for the North Pacific fishery and also completed the conversion of a crabber under a separate contract.

In the area of new construction,

MARCO is building a 135-foot freezer longliner for Alaska Frontier

Co. (AFCO) of Edmonds, Wash., and a 141-foot version for Deep

Pacific Fishing Co. of Seattle.

Virtually identical to two boats built for AFCO and now in their sec- ond year of operation, the first boat will have a beam of 309 feet 10 inches, depth of 14 feet 11 inches and carrying capacity of 560,000 pounds of fish.

The slightly larger vessel for Deep

Pacific will measure 141 feet 4 inches in length and will hold about 816,000 pounds of fish.

The two boats are scheduled for deliveries this summer and fall. Ac- cording to MARCO officials, the yard also has an opening to build a third vessel for delivery prior to the end of 1991.

Marine Fender Firm,

Receives Recycling Award

Schuyler Rubber Company, Inc.,

Woodinville, Wash., which custom designs and builds rubber fender products for the marine industry, has received the "Outstanding

Achievement in Market Develop- ment Award" for the second conse- cutive year from the Washington

Department of Ecology.

The company designs, manufac- tures and markets marine and in- dustrial laminated rubber products from recycled truck tires. During 1990, Schuyler utilized 4,350,000 pounds of recycled laminated rub- ber.

The Washington-based firm's tendering systems are used aboard vessels ranging from tugs, barges and pushboats to trawlers, supply vessels and workboats. Other appli- cations for Schuyler's laminated rubber fenders include shoreside fa- cilities, such as ports, docks and marinas, and offshore platforms and rigs.

According to owners Greg Arm- field and Dennis Kerber, the company's products are economical, durable, and ecologically sound al- ternative to virgin rubber.

Schuyler, Schuyler Rubber contin- ues to expand its product line and customer base in the private and public sectors.
