Weeks and T.L. James Join

Forces In Gulf

In September 1998, Weeks Marine,

Inc. added the Gulf Coast operations of

T.L. James to its dredging division. The

Gulf Coast operations will continue to be managed by the former T.L. James staff operating out of its Kenner, La. office. The combination of Weeks

Marine's East Coast experience with

T.L. James' experience in the mainte- nance dredging market in the Gulf Coast aims to form a more complete organiza- tion in terms of experience, flexibility and service.
