Three River-Tank Barges
In $3-Million Contract
Jeffboat recently announced the signing of a $3-million contract with
Hines, Inc. to construct three large river-tank barges. The contract will accelerate plans to resume manufac- turing at the Jeffersonville, Ind.- based shipyard.
Construction of the 300-foot by 54-foot tankers is scheduled to start this month, with delivery targeted to begin in late 1989. Negotiations are also under way for additional new construction.

Jeffboat still plans to add approxi- mately 140 more employees to its work force later in the year. Pre- viously, the company had projected reopening its towboat and barge construction operations and adding about 200 new jobs during the third quarter. Vessels have not be built at
Jeffboat's shipyard since 1986.

Bowling Green, Ky., provides trans- portation for large volumes of chem- icals moving on the inland water- ways system. The company was es- tablished in 1939, making it one of the oldest in the business.
