If we only built vessels for river transportation, you wouldn't be reading this ad,

We're Jeffboat Incorporated

America's largest inland shipbuilder.

For more than 40 years, we've been manufacturing quality vessels for a wide range of water transportation needs, from LST's in World War II to 60,000- barrel oceangoing tanker barges to passenger/vehicle ferries for Alaska and Texas. In the past eight years alone, we've tripled ourproduction outputfrom 200 vessels to the 600 we've scheduled for this year.

Versatility makes market expansion possible.

Our dramatic growth is due to our ver- satile design and manufacturing capa- bilities, which have enabled us to expand into markets beyond the inland waterways. That's why, today, we can also build oceangoing barges for haul- ing a variety of bulk commodities on the Great Lakes. Commodities like grain, coal, petroleum and other chemicals.

In addition, we can custom design floating equipment to meet specific needs, like a coal barge that holds up to 100 rail cars of coal.

Building space available in '82.

Due to increased demand, we've added more building space to our 1982 pro- duction schedule. This foresight offers you the opportunity to fortify your fleet with quality Jeffboat vessels, and to do so without waiting years for delivery.
