FRIEDE

GOLDMAN

OFFSHORE

Anew purpose-built shipyard on the Gulf of Mexico is hard to believe, but you won't have to wait anymore. Imagine your new build in the world's most modern offshore fabrication facility, the new Friede Goldman Offshore yard, opening in Spring 1998.

IT'S COMING. The 90-acre Friede Goldman Offshore facility will include a 95,000 square-foot fabrication shop with the latest state-of- the-art manufacturing equipment, 600-ton mobile crane lift capacity and access to a 30,000 ton lift capacity dry dock.

BELIEVE IT. There's no maneuvering down an obstructed channel. Located directly on the Gulf of Mexico off Pascagoula, Mississippi, the easily accessible yard will offer a 302,500 square-foot sub-assembly and launch area for new builds and 2,000 feet of deepwater outfitting bulkhead.

DEPEND ON IT. The 1,000 skilled Friede Goldman Offshore workers and experienced project managers will work as a team to produce your new build safely-on time and on budget using premier forming equipment.

It's not just your imagination any longer. To learn more about the world's most modern offshore manufacturing facility call Friede

Goldman Offshore-and put the new build you've been waiting for on the fast-track to reality.
