MARINETTE MARINE CITATION — Mar- inette Marine Corporation, Marinette, Wis., recently received an award from the U.S.

Army Material Development and Readiness

Command. The award was presented to

Roger Derusha (shown above), president of

Marinette Marine Corporation, by Lt. Gen.

George Sammet Jr., Deputy Commanding

General for Material Development. The cita- tion, which was presented during the At- lanta IV conference, stated: "Marinette Ma- rine Corporation is cited for its technical expertise and performance while under a

Navy contract to produce and deliver to the

Army 1600 series utility landing craft. Mar- inette Marine delivered its first LCU on target and proposes to deliver the last craft eight months ahead of schedule. In the pro- duction process Marinette Marine discovered and corrected numerous problems in the government furnished technical data pack- age, making it possible to deliver a craft of high quality within cost. This performance reflects the highest order of professionalism and dedication on the part of Marinette Ma- rine Corporation and warrants an Army salute."

GHH Sterkrade Delivers 200-Ton

Floating Crane For Saudi Arabia

After a successful trial off the Dutch coast near Rotterdam, Gutehoffnungshutte

Sterkrade Aktiengesellschaft (GHH Sterk- rade) has delivered its second floating crane pontoon, the 200-ton Dammam shown above, for Saudi Arabia. The pontoon was towed from GHH Sterkrade's Rhine shipyard in

Walsum to Rotterdam for mounting of the crane. The order for the pontoon was placed by the crane manufacturer—M.A.N., Nur- emberg/Gustavsburg. The pontoon is for use in the Persian Gulf and has an approximate length of 169 feet, a width of 79 feet, a lateral height of 13 feet, and a draft of 7.7 feet. With an engine power of 2 x 655 DIN hp, it can reach a speed of 7 knots. In view of the climatic conditions in which the crane will be used, the ventilation and air-condi- tioning systems of the engine room, sanitary rooms and living quarters are extremely powerful.
