Cook Industries Announces

Formation Of New Inland

Marine Transportation Firm

Cook Industries, Inc., Memphis, Tenn., -has announced the formation of an inland marine transportation firm to serve the needs of its grain division and other customers.

Scheduled to go into operation June 1 with

Willard R. Sparks as president, the new com- pany has been named Cook Transportation

System, Inc.

According to Mr. Sparks, the Cook Trans- portation 'System will operate covered hopper barges throughout the Mississippi River tribu- tary system and along the intercoastal oanal of the Gulf of Mexico. Most southbound ship- ments are expected to be grain, while north- bound shipments will consist of other dry car- goes.

Mr. Sparks said that Cook Industries will be a customer of CTS but that the firm will serve other customers as well. The Cook grain divi- sion had previously 'handled its own freight purchase and barge operation requirements.

Robert R. Wood Jr., vice president and gen- eral manager, will be responsible for direct op- erations of the company. James C. Campbell will be manager of barge operations, and Wil- liam J. Herring Jr. will manage marketing for inland marine freight.

Other officers of the new company include

C.R. Parrott, executive vice president; Landis

C. Stovall, vice president; Mr. Campbell, as- sistant vice president, and H.B. Ireland, secre- tary-treasurer.

Halter Marine Fabricators

Launches Jackson Marine

North Sea Supply Vessel

Halter Marine Fabricators, Inc., Moss Point,

Miss., recently launched the Ekofisk Moon, a 166-foot by 38-foot by 13-foot supply vessel, for the Jackson Marine Corporation of Houston,

Texas.

With a free running speed of 12 knots, the

Ekofisk Moon is powered by two Caterpillar

D-398 diesel engines rated at 850 horsepower each. She swings two stainless steel four-blade propellers, 72 inches in diameter, which are driv- en by two ABS grade 6 -inch diameter forged steel propeller shafts.

The vessel is equipped with two GM 6-71 diesel engines driving 75-kw generators. It is also fitted with two 1,000-pound Danforth an- chors, with a total of 1,440 feet of high- strength chain.

The steering system is furnished by Steering

Systems, Inc. The system will be electric over hydraulic and will incorporate two steering sta- tions—one in the pilothouse and one aft of the pilothouse.

The Ekofisk Moon is completely air-conditioned and heated, and is equipped with a built-in walk-in cooler and freezer.

The vessel is equipped with a complete engine alarm system which allows monitoring from the engine room and also from the pilothouse.

The Ekofisk Moon is certified by the United

States Coast Guard, and was built to the Ameri- can Bureau of Shipping Load Line requirements with delivery and certification for same.

The vessel, upon leaving the Halter facilities, will be delivered to Jennings, La. After delivery, the vessel is scheduled to go to the North Sea, where it will service offshore oil rigs.

Maryland Ship To Install

Largest Floating Drydock

On East And Gulf Coasts

The board of directors of Fruehauf Corpora- approved the purchase of a drydock which will accommodate vessels up to 125,000 deadweight tons by Maryland Shipbuilding & Drydock

Company, Baltimore, Md., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fruehauf Corporation. This will be the largest floating drydock on the East and 'Gulf Coasts.

One year ago, a drydock which will accom- modate vessels up to 85,000 deadweight tons was purchased by Jacksonville Shipyards, Inc.

This drydock recently arrived in Jacksonville,

Fla., and is expected to go into operation this month.

The new drydock for the Maryland shipyard will be used for repairs and for launching of vessels to be constructed in the future. It is part of a $20-million expansion program now in progress at that facility. The plant expan- sion will be completed prior to placing the new drydock in service on or before June 15, 1974.

Arnold P. Mcllwain, president of both Mary- land Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. and Jackson- ville Shipyards, Inc., said this program will place both companies in a highly competitive position and will require a 50 percent growth in their labor forces, which at present is 1,700 at Maryland Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. and 2,000 at Jacksonville Shipyards. He stated that these added facilities are an expression of

Fruehauf Corporation's faith in the continued growth of the ports of Baltimore and Jackson- ville.
