Taylor Diving Receives

Contracts From Shell, Mobil —Literature Available

Taylor Diving, Inc., Belle Chasse,

La., a Halliburton Company subsid- iary, announced the award of two new contracts and the completion of its first Gulf of Mexico underwater project for 1986.

Norman Chambers, president of Taylor, said the diving service contractor has been awarded a "call- out" contract by Shell Offshore, Inc. for the eastern division operating area of the Gulf of Mexico. The con- tract, extending through April 1987, calls for Taylor to perform certain diving services "on-demand" for

Shell during the period of the con- tract.

An additional contract, calling for structural repairs and maintenance of offshore platforms in the Gulf of

Mexico, was awarded Taylor by Mo- bil Exploration and Producing, Inc.

In addition, Taylor has completed its first project of the year for

Brown & Root Marine. Taylor per- sonnel provided support services for a pipeline installation project per- formed by Brown & Root for the

Diamond Shamrock Corporation in the Gulf of Mexico.

Efficient Vessel Operations

The Maritime Administration has announced the availability of a two- volume research report, "Micro-

Computer Based Part Power Heat

Balance Program for Commercial

Marine Steam Turbine Propulsion

Systems."

Prepared by Seaworthy Systems of Essex, Conn., the program was

Circle 257 on Reader Service Card->- developed to assist ship operators in fuel-efficient vessel operations. Be- cause of the high cost of fuel, most companies already operate their vessels at slower-than-design speeds. However, through the use of this program, the propulsion sys- tem's performance can be tuned to ensure fuel efficient operation at these slower ship speeds.

The program was developed to operate on an IBM Personal Com- puter and can be used for all steam propelled vessels that are currently operating in the U.S.-flag fleet.

The report may be obtained from the National Technical Information

Service, 5285 Port Royal Road,

The order numbers and prices are as follows: Executive Summary,

PB86-166956/AS, $9.95; User's

Guide, PB86-166964/AS, $16.95.

They carry the most advanced weapons against corrosion.

Proreco® Deck

Coating Systems 4/85—092

Military aircraft and ships arm themselves against corrosion with PRC sealants and coatings.

Based on proprietary PRC Permapol®

Polymers, PRC sealants and coatings are elastomeric, providing the flexibility to "give" with movement caused by thermal shock, vibration, and other environmental factors.

Where other materials become brittle and crack over time, PRC products maintain their elasticity. In addition to having a high degree of chemical resistance,

PRC coatings are also abrasion and impact resistant.

PRC coatings conform to the rigorous standards out- lined by the EPA under VOC regulations. The end result: long-term protection.

PRC Proreco® Decking Systems have a 15 year service history of providing deck maintenance cost savings on all types of high wear deck surfaces including aircraft carrier flight decks, helicopter landing platforms on military ships and on offshore drilling rigs, cruise ships, cable laying ships, ice breakers, fishing vessels and ocean going towboats of all types.
