Moss Point Yard Delivers

Two Supply Boats

Moss Point Marine, Inc., Moss

Point, Miss., delivered two supply vessels, bringing to nine the num- ber of offshore work boats and barges the new shipbuilder has delivered in its first year of op- eration. The Gulf Coast shipyard also announced the signing of a contract for construction of two 250-foot by 72-foot by 16-foot off- shore deck barges.

Included in the recent deliver- ies were a 173-foot supply vessel for Golden Gulf Marine to be op- erated by Bosun-JMJ of New Or- leans, and a 114-foot supply ves- sel for Sea Mar, Inc. of Lafayette.

The 173-foot M./V Golden Girl is the second of 12 vessels contract- ed by Golden Gulf for construc- tion by Moss Point Marine. The 114-foot M/V Cape San Bias is the second such supply boat of a two-boat contract for Sea Mar.

The two 250-foot deck barges, which will be delivered later this year, will be built on Moss Point

Marine's new tilt beam launch system that is capable of han- dling up to 300-foot vessels.

The Golden Girl has a fuel ca- pacity of approximately 57,000 gallons, 1,500 barrels of liquid mud capacity, and 3,600 cubic feet of dry mud. Her deck load capacity is 550 tons and the ves- sel will accommodate a crew of 16 persons. The Cape San Bias has a fuel capacity of 23,700 gal-
