Avondale Gets $101-Million Award

From Navy For Sixth T-AO-187 Oiler

The U.S. Navy has exercised an option in its contract with the

Shipyards Division of Avondale

Industries, Inc. for the construc- tion of another fleet oiler of the

T-AO-187 (Henry J. Kaiser)

Class. This latest award, worth $101 million, brings to six the number of-oilers building or un- der contract at the Avondale yard, at a total cost $689.9 mil- lion. Under the current contract, the Navy has an option on a sev- enth ship of the class. Delivery of the sixth oiler is scheduled for

January 1989.

Avondale Industries, head- quartered in Boston, is an em- ployee-owned company compris- ing seven divisions recently pur- chased from Ogden Corporation.

Avondale is primarily involved in marine and modular construc- tion, metals recycling, and indus- trial production. With 1985 sales of $1.2 billion, Avondale is among the largest employee-owned cor- porations in the U.S.

Ameron Torpedo Introduces Versatile,

Chemical-Resistant Tank Lining

A new high-solids, modified phe- nolic epoxy tank lining system has been added to the standard range of conventional and high-performance marine coatings available from

Ameron Torpedo Marine Coatings.

Amercoat® 346 is a versatile tank lining said to offer excellent chemi- cal resistance to solvents, caustic, crude and fuel oils, animal and vege- table oils and fats, and neutral, alkaline, and non-oxidizing salt so- lutions in water.

Amercoat 346 is also resistant to fruit juices, salt solutions, molasses, and diluted residues of molasses provided the pH of these products is between 4 and 11. Of special impor- tance is its suitability for the trans- portation of methanol. Fully ap- proved by Lloyd's Register of Ship- ping, the epoxy system is a tough and durable tank lining, providing good resistance to extremes of wear and abrasion.

Hot Butterworth cleaning at a maximum temperature can be per- formed on this tank lining as neces- sary to avoid contamination be- tween different types of cargo. How- ever, the lowest practical cleaning temperature should normally be used to extend coating life.

The Amercoat 346 is applied in three coats of 4 mils (100 microns) dry film thickness each, in sequen- tial colors of light gray, dark gray, and light gray for wear monitoring.

Its high-solids formulation is de- signed for economy of application

Shown here after three years of user-trial service on Rowbotham Tankships' products carrier Echoman, the Amercoat 346 lining is in very good condition, and minimum materials consump- tion, using standard airless or con- ventional spray equipment.

This new addition to the compre- hensive line of more than 200 con- ventional and high-performance marine coatings is sold through the international network of Ameron

Torpedo Marine Coatings' agents, licensees, and representatives. This network now includes more than 50 companies in more than 40 coun- tries, including the U.S. and impor- tant European and Far East loca- tions.

Coatings, detailing the extensive range of chemicals for which Amer- coat 346 is applicable,
