Twin City Shipyard

Has 90-Barge Backlog

Totaling $11 Million

John W. Lambert, president of

Twin City Barge & Towing Com- pany, St. Paul, Minn., recently re- ported that its subsidiary, Twin

City Shipyard, Inc., also in St.

Paul, has a backlog of orders for 90 barges totaling some $11 mil- lion in sales, which will—at a pro- duction rate of about one barge per week — consume the entire barge output of the shipyard until

March of 1975.

The shipyard, which began pro- ducing 195-foot by 35-foot hopper barges in its newly expanded fab- rication facility on June 15, has launched and delivered six barges.

Twin City Barge has served the

Twin Cities areas since 1937, and

Chicago since 1961. The diversified firm manufactures barges and other craft, maintains terminal storage facilities, provides harbor towing and barge fleeting services, and op- erates as a carrier of dry and liquid bulk commodities. Its operations extend from the Twin Cities and

Chicago through the inland river system.
