Third Double Rig Dry Transport

On The Sibig Venture

I.T.C. Holland B.V., Haarlem,

Holland, the Netherlands, recently contracted the dry transport of two

Rowan rigs from Seward, Alaska to

Port of Spain, Trinidad.

The Rowan Middletown was loaded aboard the Sibig Venture in

Seward, Alaska. The vessel then proceeded to Long Beach, Califor- nia where the Rowan Alaska was floated onboard.

The 15,000 mile voyage via the

Strait of Magellan is projected to take about 50 days. The rigs, as well as the ship, are too large to transit the Panama Canal, which has a width restriction of 106 feet.

The rigs are owned and operated by Rowan Companies Inc., Houston,

Texas. The Rowan Middletown is a

Marathon LeTourneau 116-C de- sign having 410 feet of legs installed and a total weight of 9,587 tons. The

Rowan Alaska is a Marathon Le-

Tourneau ML-84-S design having 410 feet of legs installed and a total weight of 9,200 tons.

Hitachi Zosen Completes Two Power

Generating Barges For Philippines

Two power plant barges, NA-

PORCOR Power Barges 3 and 4, built for the National Power Corpo- ration (NPC) of the Philippines, were completed recently at Hitachi

Zosen's Osaka Works and subse- quently towed to their destination.

These barges, the same type as the two power barges built for NPC by

Hitachi in 1981, will be installed in two locations—one at Iloilo on Pa- nay Island and the other at Zam- boanga on Mindanao Island.

Each barge will provide a total of 32 mw of electrical power at maxi- mum from four diesel generators.

Manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd., each of the 8,000-kw generators is driven by an Hitachi/Sulzer 16ZV40 diesel engine with an output of 11,600 bhp. The engines were manu- factured at Hitachi's Sakurajima

Works.

The barges have an overall length of 213 feet, beam of 100 feet, depth of 23 feet, and full-load draft of 8.86 feet. Displacement at full load is 5,398 metric tons.
