Avondale Selects Intergraph Hardware

And Software

Intergraph Corporation announced that

Avondale Industries Inc. has acquired Intergraph hardware and software, valued at more than $2 million, for shipbuilding and data management applications. Using these systems throughout its business, Avondale will design and analyze its commercial and military products in a digital envi- ronment. Products will be reviewed in a virtual environment before supplying information to pro- duction for manufacturing. In addition, the data will be used to support products throughout their life cycles, reducing costs and ensuring higher lev- els of product quality. Edward A. Wilkinson, executive vice president for Intergraph Federal

Systems, commented, "This acquisition of

Intergraph technology demonstrates Avondale's commercial and military commitment to 3-D prod- uct modeling and company-wide implementation of an Integrated Product Data Environment (IPDE)." The Avondale Alliance has also selected

Intergraph's suite of Integrated Ship Design and

Data Management Products to support the alliance's bid for the U.S. Navy's new Amphibious

Transport Dock ship, the LPD-17. Intergraph joined the LPD-17 team in February.

Stolt Comex Seaway Expands Fleet With

Vessel Purchase

Stolt Comex Seaway S.A. has purchased a new deepwater subsea construction and flowline lay ship to expand its present fleet. The new ship,

Navigator, originally designed as a cable lay ship, was purchased from the receivers of Boelwerf

Vlaanderen shipyard in Belgium. The vessel is being enhanced for further capabilities for subsea construction and flexible flowline lay work in time for operation in the 1997 offshore season.

Preparations will also be made for the later instal- lation of rigid flowline lay equipment. Company plans indicate that Navigator will begin operation in the North Sea, and will then move to the South

China Sea to work on the Statoil Lufeng 22-1 pro- ject. The ship measures 452.7 x 63.9 ft. (138 x 19.5 m), has a DWT of 6,000 tons and a working deck space of 1,300 sq. m. Navigator's fitting out will be completed with the installation of dynamic posi- tioning equipment, a saturation diving system,

ROV launch facilities, as well as below deck cargo storage, handling systems for flexible flowlines, umbilicals and anchor chains and substantial cranage. (Continued on page 49)
