Lays Keels For Two

Con-Edison Barges

The keels have been laid at Todd

Shipyards Corporation (Houston Di- vision) for two of the four fuel stor- age barges being constructed for

Consolidated Edison Company of

New York, Inc. The 250-foot by 44- foot by 14-foot 6-inch single-skin, fuel storage tank barges each have a 25,000-barrel capacity of No. 2 fuel oil. After completion they will be moored at Con-Edison's Gowanus substation in Brooklyn, N.Y., fueling gas turbine-powered generators.

The barges will be equipped with steam coils capable of heating heavy distillate fuel oil with a pour point of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Each barge will be equipped with three 400-gpm electric motor-driven fuel oil pumps, using shore-based power source.

Delivery of the first two barges is scheduled for February 1971 in New

York Harbor, and the last two barges should arrive in April 1971.
