James A. Kolinski

Lykes Awards $150-Million

Contract To Build Four

Containerships In Japan

Lykes Bros. Steamship Com- pany of New Orleans last month signed contracts worth more than $150 million for construction of four 2,500-TEU containerships by a joint venture of two Japanese shipyards—Mitsui Engineering and

Shipbuilding, and Mitsubishi

Heavy Industries.

The 36,762-dwt ships will fly the

American flag but will be built and operated without U.S. Gov- ernment subsidy. According to

Lykes president W. James Amoss, this was made possible by the co- operation of the four seagoing unions involved, which have agreed to lower manning requirements that compare favorably with for- eign-flag containerships in the trans-Pacific trade where the new

Lykes ships will operate.

Lykes is also negotiating with the Harland & Wolff yard in Bel- fast for construction of two similar containerships. If that deal falls through, Mr. Amoss has an option to build two additional ships at the Japanese yards.

Todd Seattle Awarded $500,000 Phase I Contract

For LCAC Program

It was announced by John T.

Gilbride Jr., vice president and general manager, that Todd Seat- tle has been awarded a Phase I

DATA REVIEW AND PRODUC-

TION PLANNING contract for the air cushion landing craft (LCAC) follow-on construction program.

The LCAC is a high speed air cushion landing craft that will provide transport of personnel and equipment to shore positions from amphibious assault ships sta- tioned offshore.

The Phase I award is a fixed price contract totaling $500,000 for review of detail design and construction feasibility for the

LCAC follow on construction pro- gram. A preproduction prototype of this craft is currently under construction on the Gulf Coast by the LCAC program's lead contractor.

Early in 1985 there will be a

Phase II contract based on cost ef- fectiveness and production tech- niques. The fixed price award will be for the construction of one or two vessels with subsequent awards for up to nine vessels per year.

U.S. Navy planners foresee up to 90 vessels of this class by 1995.

Todd Seattle's expertise in this type of aluminum fabrication was developed during construction of the experimental Hovercraft JEFF-

A (a prototype for the current

LCAC).

Somewhere down there moving quietly through the darkened sea are U.S. subs, made stronger by stud-welding technology

Arc stud welding was developed as a means of speeding up ship production.

Today, in addition to speed, KSM stud- welding systems add a new dimension of precision and strength.

We offer a complete fastening service — special pins and studs — plus the most advanced system of arc and CD welding equipment.

And there's another important plus: With every major project, KSM engineers will assist you with an advanced study — to be sure our phase of the work will meet your highest standards, in the most cost- effective way.
