Six Dravo-Built Tank Barges

One of the six new tank barges, built by Dravo Corpora- tion for Union Barge Line, splashes into the Ohio River.

Six new tank barges with a combined capacity of nearly 7,000,000 gallons are being acquired by

Union Barge Line Corporation, Pittsburgh, to ex- pand its unit tow service.

Built by Dravo Corporation, the 297^2-foot by 54-foot by 12-foot barges will be operated by

Cardinal Carriers, Inc., a subsidiary of Union established to supplement its regular transporta- tion service.

Cardinal presently operates two 3,200-hp tow- boats moving petrochemical products from Gulf

Coast origins to destinations on the upper Ohio and Illinois Rivers.

Transit times are improved significantly with unit tow service because of the single hull line configuration of these tows and the use of high speed pumping equipment.

Union's new barges include four double-skin how pieces, one double-skin stern barge, and one
