Bulkfleet Marine To

Build 2 Barges Costing $43.3 Million At GD

Two affiliated companies, Bulkfleet Marine

Ltd., No. 1 and No. 2, have each applied for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of an integrated tug-barge product carrier. The 25,000-deadweight-ton vessels will be used in the U.S. coastwise trade.

The tug portions of the two vessels will be built by J. Ray McDermott & Co., Inc.,

Morgan City, La. Each tug will be powered by two 4,000-horsepower diesels.

The barge portions will be constructed by

General Dynamics Corp., Quincy, Mass. De- livery of both tug-barge vessels is scheduled for December 1980.

The combined actual cost of the two ves- sels is approximately $43.3 million. If ap- proved, the Title XI guarantee would cover 87K percent of that amount.
