Look at the faces.

They say that a face tells everything. If you plan to purchase a radar, look at the screen — it's the face of a radar.

Atlantic Marine Receives $3.3-Million Contract

To Build Research Ship

Construction of a specially de- signed $3.33-million oceanograph- ic research vessel (R/V) for the

University of California, San

Diego's Scripps Institution of

Oceanography will begin this year, with completion scheduled for the summer of 1978, chancel- lor William D. McElroy, UC San

Diego, has announced.

When fully equipped, the ship will have a total cost of about $4 million.

Dr. McElroy said a contract to build the ship, to be named

New Horizon, has been awarded to Atlantic Marine, Inc. of Fort

George Island, Fla.

This marks the first new ship to be added to the Institution's fleet since acquisition of the 245- foot R/V Melville in 1969, and will increase the size of the fleet to five ships and two research platforms.

Lloyd's To Class Two

Large Crane Barges

To Be Built By Mitsui

Two large crane barges are to be built to Lloyd's Register class by Mitsui Engineering and Ship- building Co. for the Heerema

Group. A design appraisal will be carried out by the Society's

Offshore Services Group, and the barges will be built under survey at the Mitsui Shipyard.

The barges will be semisub- mersible units for worldwide service and suitable for opera- tions in ambient temperatures down to minus 20°C. Each unit is of the catamaran type with working decks supported by sta- bility columns. Two cranes will be fitted on each barge — 3,000 and 2,000-short-tons lifting ca- pacity.

The barges are designed to carry 8,000 tons of payload on deck and are provided with 1,600- hp propulsion units which, added to the 1,500 hp of two assisting tugs (for anchor running, etc.), will give the barges an estimated speed of 10 knots.

Principal dimensions are 450- foot length, 282-foot breadth and 136-foot height. Both barges can accommodate 350 crew, and the first will be operational in the

North Sea area in September 1978 and the second one in Feb- ruary 1979. rrrni
