Moran Christens Trinity-Built Barge

Connecticut

A double-hulled barge designed and built to deliver oil to Northeast Utilities (NU) generat- ing stations was christened by owner Moran

Power Company of Greenwich, Conn.

The 325-ft. (99.1-m) 40,000 barrel capacity barge Connecticut has been chartered to NU. "The Connecticut was built to protect the environment during delivery of oil to shallow tidewater locations and has a double hull of reinforced steel with spill rails surrounding the deck perimeter. It also is equipped with a high- level alarm system to prevent the overloading of any tank ... and onboard pollution response equipment includes 1,200 ft. (366 m) of oil containment boom and absorbent pads to aid in any potential clean-up operations," said Malcolm

W. MacLeod, president and CEO of Moran Tow- ing. The Connecticut will also supply NU's three other oil-burning stations at Montville on the

Thames River, Devon on Long Island Sound, and the Norwalk Harbor Station.

The barge was built by Trinity Marine, Beau- mont, Texas.
