Ingalls Teams Up To Lift 2,400 Tons

In early September, Ingalls

Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss, teamed with its customer,

Transocean Offshore Inc., and J.

Ray McDermott Inc. to accomplish a 2,400-ton lift as part of its con- tract to outfit the drillship

Discoverer Enterprise. A 5,000-ton capacity barge crane was utilized to lift a 2,300-ton mud module onto the Discoverer Enterprise, an advanced drillship being outfitted by Ingalls for Transocean. The module, which houses the ship's mud processing and pumping equipment, was built by Red Fox

Fabricators and brought to Ingalls by barge. The barge crane was brought to Ingalls from J. Ray

McDermott's facilities in Morgan

City, La. More than 150 tons of rig- ging equipment was used for the lift, bringing the total lift about 2,400 tons. The lift was the first of four to be accomplished in the out- fitting process at Ingalls. The drill- ship, will be 111,000 tons fully loaded and is capable of drilling in waters up to 10,000 ft. deep.
