Cenargo And Astilleros Espanoles Sign

For Two Ferries

British owner Cenargo International has placed an order with Astilleros Espanoles for the construc- tion of two passenger RoRo ferries, with an option for two more. The vessels, to be built at the

Astilleros Espanoles Seville yard, are scheduled to be delivered in April and July 1998. Each of the ferries will be able to accommodate 214 passengers — 114 in two-bed cabins and 100 in large armchair rooms — and 47 crew.

Design has reportedly been focused on complying with the strictest safety conditions, reportedly sur- passing recent regulations approved by the

International Maritime Organization (IMO) follow- ing the lessons of the Estonia disaster. For exam- ple, the vessels will reportedly be able to keep afloat, even in the case of fully flooded vehicle decks under full load, according to Astilleros Espanoles' standards for design and construction of passenger vessels.

Hvide To Acquire Eight Offshore Supply

Vessels

Hvide Marine Inc. has entered into contracts to purchase eight offshore supply vessels. Three of the vessels and related marine assets will be pur- chased from Seal Fleet, Inc., of Galveston, Texas, for $6.3 million. The five remaining vessels will be purchased from affiliates of the Three R Trusts of

Galveston, along with the company's shareholdings in Seal Fleet, Inc. Upon completion of this trans- action, a portion of these shareholdings will be sold by Hvide to an unrelated party. Terms of the trans- action with Three R Trusts were not disclosed.

J. Erik Hvide, chairman and CEO of Hvide, said, "These acquisitions, when concluded, will increase our Seabulk Offshore, Ltd. fleet to 60 ves- sels, positioning us as a major competitor in the off- shore service vessel business in the Gulf of Mexico, and will further our goal of consolidating this ener- gy exploration and production support industry."

Hvide Marine Inc. presently operates 91 vessels in four operating segments: coastal and harbor towing; chemical transportation; energy trans- portation; and offshore energy services. Based in

Port Everglades, Fla., Hvide Marine's global opera- tions cover three U.S. coasts, the Caribbean,

Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
