www.marinelink.com MN41Mike Foster (VP & GM) and Joe Bush (VP Operations) redirected the yard over the next several years into an efficient, high quality builder ofocean class petroleum ATBs for Reinauer. With the end of OPA-90 fleet replacement activity for both Reinauer and the Jones Act industry in general, the yard is now engaging the commercial marine industry at large. Senesco personnel now regular- ly attend industry events, seeking exposure and opportunity with the larger marine community. The suc- cessful first few steps of the yard are evidenced by the orders now in house for a dry dock, tractor tug, wind ener- gy structure and some lesser contracts with expectations of others projects to follow. So far; so good. CAPABILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE Senesco Marine operates two facili- ties which include a new building yard and a repair yard both located on the deep water of Narragansett Bay. Both facilities are situated on a south- ern portion of the very large Quonset Business Park about 15 miles south of Providence, RI. Once a large amphibious air base, but now reborn largely as an industrial park, Senesco holds a lengthy ground lease with Quonset, providing the footprint of two yards. The new construction yard consists of about 29 acres with more than 248,000 square feet of covered fabrication space including a separateocean tug construction shelter. The main portion of the 248,000 square feet of space boasts updated andincreased overhead crane capability enabling almost all of the steel prepa- ration and fabrication to take place inweather protected environments with final erection of prefabricated mod- ules taking place outside on erec- tion/launching slabs. The entire 29+ acres of the yard are paved in concrete providing for a clean work environ- ment, even in inclement weather. Senescos repair yard is located near- by on about 4 acres including a 1,200 foot deepwater pier with a floating dry dock with a capacity of 4,500 tons and internal dimensions of 400 x82 feet. Beyond this, the yards collec- tive assets are impressive. SENESCOSHIPYARD ASSETS Upgrading infrastructure at this Rhode Island yard has always been a priority.
