Venice Utilizes

Tin-Free Coatings

The city of Venice has taken action against tributyltin (TBT) based antifoul- ing paints with its replacement - Baseg- gio's tin-free Sirena ASR coatings.

Based on Sea-Nine 211, an antifouling agent developed for professional paints by chemical manufacturer Rohm and

Haas, Sea-Nine was granted the Green

Chemistry Challenge Award in 1996 by the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency. The high-quality, self-polish- ing antifoulants are available in a variety of colors with more than 100 vessels relying on Sirena ASR to reduce both their drag and impact on marine life.

Coflexip Stena Upgrades Unit

Coflexip Stena will upgrade CSO

Constructor for more than $30 million, allowing the Group to offer a heavy duty subsea construction vessel, capable of rigid or flexible pipelay in deepwater.

The investment will greatly expand the capabilities of the vessel, which will commence its approximate five-month conversion in March 2000. CSO Con- structor's hull and deck will be length- ened by 49 ft. (15 m) and widened by 16 ft. (5 m) to bring its pipeline payload to 3,000 metric tons. After conversion, the vessel will be able to install rigid lines with the patented M-J Lay system, or flexible lines, stored in a carousel under deck, using the patented Vertical Laying

System (VLS), down to 6,500 ft.
