LOADMAX

IS MADE FOR YOUR SHIR

LOADMAX is the quick, easy way to plan optimum load- ing for any type of ship. It rapidly calculates and displays accurate draft, hull strength and stability data for any load- ing condition.

LOADMAX is as simple to use as a desk calculator— tonnage distribution and calculated results are read at a glance — no confusing knobs, thumbwheels or cluttered

CRT displays typical of other loading instruments.

Designed for the particular operating requirements of your ship, LOADMAX combines numeric tonnage displays with an easily understood mimic diagram of the vessel. A separate graphic display shows whether the ship is in hogging or sagging condition and if shear force or bending moment limits are being exceeded.

Contract Awarded To

Ingalls Shipbuilding

Keyes Offshore, Inc. of Hous- ton, a major drill rig owner and contractor to the offshore drilling industry, has contracted with

Ingalls Shipbuilding of Pascagou- la, Miss, for a third jackup drill- ing rig of Friede and Goldman design. Earlier this year Keyes ordered two jackup rigs from

Ingalls. The contract for the third rig is for approximately $18 mil- lion, increasing the total value of the contracts to about $50 million.

Bill Keyes, president of Keyes

Offshore, said the first two of the self-elevating rigs will be deliv- ered in March and May of 1981, while the rig just ordered will be delivered in June that year.

Len Erb, senior vice president of Litton Industries and president of Ingalls, said fabrication work has already begun on the first of the Keyes rigs, while material and equipment procurement will begin immediately on the rig just or- dered.

All three rigs are Friede and

Goldman design L-780 capable of drilling to depths of 20,000 feet.

One rig is designed to operate in 250 feet of water and two in 300 feet. The 5,500-ton mobile units will be 180 feet long and 175 feet wide, and have accommodations for 56 personnel. Completion of this order will bring the total of rigs owned or operated by Keyes to six.

Ingalls is the only North Amer- ican contractor currently building jackups under Friede and Gold- man license.
