First, judge a shipbuilder by what it's done.

Since 1921 we have been designing and building marine equipment and systems for operation all over the world. 1. We built the world's first offshore drilling tender. It brought in Louisiana's first tideland oil discovery. 2. We built the first self-propelled drilling ships in the world. Four of them.

They continue to set standards of oper- ational success. 3. We built a ^ tug/barge container system for the distri- bution of products to shallow-water ports in the Caribbean. Then we built a 208-foot roll-on/roll-off trailership to make the first system even better. 4. We built the world's first LASH barges and we built the world's first

SEABEE barges.

Now we are the largest builder any- where of these major components in a new trans- portation system that is changing the living habits of millions of people.

And we continue to create change in the ocean industries.

Then, judge it by what it's doing.

We are one of the largest builders in the world of a great variety of vessels and marine equipment. 1. We're building offshore towing and supply ships for major companies working in oil fields throughout the world.

Ships designed and constructed for efficient anchor handling and rig towing and the carrying of bulk and liquid cargo. 2. The crewboats we're build- ing are in operation in every offshore oil and gas producing area. Lake Maracaibo. Cook . Inlet. Southeast Asia. The

Persian Gulf The Gulf of Mexico. High- speed vessels meeting drilling, exploration, and production schedules every day carrying men and cargo. 3. We're building oil barges, deck cargo barges, liquid cargo barges, pipelaying barges, dredge tenders,

LASH switch- ing boats, ocean-going and harbor tugs, fire tugs, and staging tugs. Offshore quarters units and derricks. 4. We have improved and expanded our facilities to build bigger and better vessels, and to stay on the leading edge of change.

We built the marine equipment and systems that the ocean industries grew up on.

We're continuing to build them to keep the ocean industries growing.
