Ground was broken this past spring at Bollinger Larose, Inc. for the foundation a Land RoRo system. This system can reportedly accommodate up to 3,000 tons of marine equipment, which consists of various types of supply vessels. The system is reportedly capa- ble of handling deck barges with a maximum width of 84 ft. (25.6 m).

This RoRo system has three separate concrete slabs extending 330 ft. (100.5 m) from the drydock. Bollinger Morgan City fabri- cated 150 special steel wheels for 10, 200-ton dollies and 10, 100- ton dollies. United Shipyard assembled all 20 dollies, as assigned by the Bollinger Engineering Department.

The first test of the RoRo systems was done with OC263, an Otto

Candies, Inc. barge on August 17. Plans are to extend the rails to the east and west to accommodate various types of marine equip- ment.
