Southwest Marine Awarded $9.68 Million Contract

Southwest Marine, Inc. has been awarded a contract worth $9,680,046 by the U.S. Military Sealift Com- mand for the drydocking and over- haul of the ammunition ship USNS

Kilauea. The vessel works with the

U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet in the

Western Pacific and this is reported to be the first time in 10 years that it has been in the U.S.

Most of the overhaul work will be devoted to the underway replenish- ment winches which will be replaced with winches that conform to U.S.

Navy standards. Unrep controls and control booths will also be replaced.

The overhaul will be performed by

Southwest Marine San Pedro and drydocking will take place in San

Diego.

While in drydock, a complete pro- pulsion inspection will be performed, as well as the replacement of a pro- peller which was damaged when the vessel ran aground during Operation

Desert Strom. The hull will be painted and repairs to living spaces will also be performed.

Fourth Jack-Up Rig

Delivered To Santa Fe

International Corp. By FELS

Far East Levingston Shipbuild- ing Ltd. (FELS) has completed and delivered its fourth harsh environ- ment jack-up rig built for Santa Fe

International Corporation.

Santa Fe presented FELS with a commemorative plaque to show its appreciation of FELS excellent ser- vices during the construction of the

Magellan.

The Magellan is the third in the

Monarch-class series built by FELS for Santa Fe. FELS delivered the monarch in 1987, the Monitor in 1989 and Universe-class Galaxy I rig in 1991 to the same customer.

The Magellan is rated for year- round operations in the severe en- vironmental conditions of the North

Sea, in water depths of up to 328 feet and seasonally up to 350 feet.

The rig is also designed to oper- ate in the tender mode by "skidding off" its drilling unit to an adjacent platform or to drill in the cantilever mode with the cantilever extended up to 65 feet from the hull.

Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping, the Magellan complies with the requirements of the United

Kingdom Department of Energy and the United States Coast Guard. Its living quarters meet the standards of the Norwegian Maritime Direc- torate.

Facilities onboard include accom- modation for up to 100 personnel and an 83-foot diameter helideck.

It is outfitted with three mud pumps, top drive, automatic pipe handling, a high volume state-of-the-art mud

October, 1992 62 system and has a generating capac- ity of over 10,000 hp.

FELS is currently building two giant CJ62 harsh environmental jack-up rigs for A.P. Moller of Den- mark, a cable ship for Teleglobe Inc. and a semisubmersible production platform for Petrobras of Brazil.
