International Launches New

Self Polishing Copolymer

Range

International has launched a new range of Self Polishing

Copolymer (SPC) antifoulings tai- lored to meet the specific operating profiles of vesssels in three operat- ing sectors: the coastal; deepsea bulk cargo; and scheduled liner sectors. The company's Inter- smooth 100, 200, and 300 series antifoulings balance polishing rates and biocidal potency, provid- ing vessel operators a choice based on vessel performance and sub- strate tolerance requirements.

Among advantages offered by the the SPC antifoulings, Inter- national lists: excellent levels of fouling control; prolonged drydock intervals; self-smoothing in ser- vice, minimized drag from reduced hull roughness and a reduction in fuel costs; lack of paint build-up due to successive dry docks; excel- lent mechanical properties mini- mizing film defects; and rapid hard dry times speeding up drydock work and improving newbuilding productivity.

Sonsub Expands Facility,

Provides Subsea Service In

Trinidad, Gulf of Mexico

On September 25, in Western

Australia, Sonsub Inc.'s Asia-

Pacific regional center relocated to new, larger premises in order to accommodate the center's expand- ing engineering, testing and administrative requirements. The

Perth, W.A., facility acts as a focal point for administration, engineer- ing, and marketing opportunities for territories which include the

Middle East, the People's Republic of China, India, southeast Asia,

Australia, and New Zealand. It also liaises closely with the compa- ny's joint venture operations in

Malaysia, Indonesia, and the

Philippines.

Also in late September, Sonsub fulfilled a contract which involved mobilizing a 75-hp Discovery

Advanced Remotely Operated

Work System (AROWS) to

Trinidad to support the installa- tion of a British Gas platform in approximately 360 ft. (109.7 m) of water. Working under contract to

Field Enterprises Ltd. of the U.K.,

Sonsub performed bathymetric surveys and provided general plat- form installation support.

Sonsub also recently completed a contract with Global Industries,

Ltd., providing Remotely Operated

Vehicle (ROV) services to install

Shell Offshore Inc.'s Rocky pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline will connect one of several subsea wells to Shell's Bullwinkle platform in Green Canyon 65A.

The work included monitoring the touchdown and placement of pipeline termination skids, and the deepest dual J-tube pull ever per- formed.

J. Ray McDermott, S.A. awarded

Sonsub three major projects to pro- vide ROV support from its con- struction barges. The company supplied a 75-hp Triton AROWS and a 20-hp Viper ROV which was used to support Mobil's Pearl plat- form installation, Agip's East

Breaks pipeline installation, and

Tatham Offshore's platform instal- lation. All the work was carried out in the Gulf of Mexico.
