Todd Shipyards Corporation (Houston Division) has announced the launching of two 250-foot by 44-foot by 14-foot-6-inch single skin barges for Consolidated Edison Com- pany of New York, Inc. These are the first two of a four-barge contract calling for fuel storage tank barges each having a 25,000-barrel capacity of No. 2 fuel oil.
