Halter Marine Delivers First Of

Three Supply Boats To Brazil —First From U.S. Shipbuilder

ALMOST A CENTURY OF SERVICE

Halter Marine, Inc., New Orleans, La., has delivered the first offshore supply boat built by a U.S. shipbuilder to the nation of Brazil.

The 185-foot Oxala (pronounced o-shal-a), the first of a three-boat contract, was built for H. Dantas Servicos Maritimos, S.A. of

Rio de Janeiro for operations off the coast of Brazil with Petrobras, the Brazilian state oil company.

The Oxala is 185 feet in length, with a 40-foot breadth, and 14-foot depth. Her nor- mal operating draft is 11.92 feet and normal displacement is 770.63 long tons. • Our piers can accommodate vessels up to 800' long, with a beam of 130' and a 32' draft at low water. A new 8 ton gantry crane travels 300' fore or aft of a vessel.

A foundry and fully equipped shops for ma- chine, pipe, plate, electrical, boiler and carpentry work are maintained to service all ship and barge repairs, on a 'round-the-clock basis.

U.S.C.G. accepted, certified welders available for pressure and exotic material welding.

PADD is centrally located in the heart of the

N.Y.-N.J. port complexes within 3 miles of 9 major oil terminals.

A vast inventory of parts and equipment en- ables us to complete jobs in less time, thus minimizing extended layovers. -me PERTH AMBOY DRY DOCK CO. 0UR FOOT OF COMMERCE STREET
