Halter Marine To Open , Shipyard

Halter Marine Group, Inc. will [reopen the former Eastern Marine, | Inc. shipyard in Allenton, near [Panama City, Fla. which was {acquired when inactive in 1993. It jhas been named Halter Marine

Panama City.

John Dane III, chairman, presi-

November, 1997 dent and CEO of Halter said, "It has been our stated intention to open this facility when business and market conditions improved.

With the volume of our current business, and the level of inquiries, we are beginning to see delivery dates stretch beyond what our cus- tomers find acceptable. We will open the shipyard in a phased process beginning immediately.

Initial employment will be approx- imately 100, and it is expected to grow to about 300 within 18 months."

The opening will be phased because much of the equipment and the physical plant requires replacement and upgrading before full production can begin. The first vessel, which is being built for an undisclosed interest, will be a 205 ft. (62.5 m) supply boat, scheduled for delivery in December 1998.

When We Say "MARINE QUALITY DOORS & DOOR HINGES-"

UJ« by COSPOLICH

Up to now, many marine cold storage spaces offered doors that leaked, and after a short time in the field, broke down — or off.

ARCTIC SAFE from Cospolich uses nothing less than marine quality stainless steel doors and hardware.The perimeter of every modular panel, walls and doors, is hardrail-reinforced.

The marine industry demands tough construction. Cospolich meets those demands in the manufacturing of ARCTIC SAFE.. 949 Industry Road
