Color Brochure Describing

Towboat & Barge Designs

Dravo Corporation, proud of the firm's marine capabilities, re- cently issued a 66-page, hard-cover, ring-bound brochure describing the company's facilities and its stand- ard towboat and barge designs.

This attractive book contains many color photographs and is di- vided into six sections covering ca- pabilities, towboats, dry cargo barges, coal barges, tank barges and special purpose barges.

It completely describes the 2,800 hp, 4,200 hp, 5,600 hp, 6,000-6,400 hp, 7,000 hp and 10,500 hp Viking class towboats as well as all the barge designs.

A separate page is included for each towboat and barge contain- ing detailed plans and speci- fications.

Dravo's Neville Island shipyard is located on the Ohio River, 10 miles downstream from its corpo- rate headquarters in Pittsburgh,

Pa. Approximately 70 acres of land accommodate administrative, en- gineering and sales offices, along with construction facilities for towboats and barges, a barge cover construction and marshalling yard, launching ways, outfitting and loading docks. These facilities also include marine repair services afloat and a side-haul marine railway.

The firm's in-house capabilities make it possible to produce qual- ity marine equipment efficiently and economically to their design or the customer's specifications.

The facilities make it possible to build in excess of IV2 barges each working day and to launch a tow- boat every three weeks.

Hyde Awarded Navy

Boat Winch Contract

Hyde Products, Inc. of Cleve- land, Ohio, has received contract

N00123-83-C-0407 from the Naval

Regional Contracting Center in
