Avondale Shipyards

Awarded $15-Million

Drillship Conversion

Ogden Corporation announced that its Avondale Shipyards subsidiary has contracted to convert a C-4 vessel —presently owned by its subsidiary,

Ogden Marine, Inc.—to a drillship for Martin Industries, Inc. of New

Orleans, La. The shipyard conversion cost will be approximately $15 mil- lion, with delivery scheduled for 1975.

The conversion of this ship will provide a valuable deepwater drilling capability on a much earlier delivery basis than would be possible with the construction of a new vessel, and make an effective and much earlier contribution to the search for new energy sources.

Smit Nymegen Moves

To Larger Quarters

Smit Nymegen Corporation, the recently formed U.S. subsidiary of

Smit Ovens Nijmegen of Holland, has announced that it has moved its U.S. operations into larger quar- ters. Located at 275 Kisco Avenue,

Mount Kisco, N.Y., and covering 60,000 square feet, the new manu- facturing plant will also house the company's headquarters, sales and service, and engineering staff.

Smit's move was necessitated by a growing demand for its independ- ent inert and N2 gas generators for marine and industrial applica- tions, as well as a demand for the company's line of dual fuel and electric glass annealing lehrs for glass manufacturers. Smit Nyme- gen also produces TV Frit sealing and exhausting equipment, a line of furnaces for TV screen annealing and blackening, and heat treating equipment for ceramic, metal and processing industries.

According to Paul W. Roos, president of Smit Nymegen Cor- poration : "This move meets our needs for additional manufactur- ing and engineering space to fill present and future equipment or- ders through 1975. The Mount

Kisco area offers additional space should we require it." ., INC. j Systems Dept.
