Seay Corp. was awarded a con- tract to supply two tractor tugs for the U.S. Navy operation in Diego
Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The new tugs are required to safely dock the Navy's Bob Hope class LMSR ships, and will replace the Navy's older YTB's. The two new con- struction 95-ft. (29 m) tractor tugs were built in 1998 and are powered by Niigata 6L25HX engines with

Manson Christens
New Dredge
Manson Construction Co. recent- ly christened the newest edition to its dredging fleet, a trailing suction hopper dredge dubbed Bayport, at the company's yard on the
Duwamish river in Seattle. Bayport is a larger sister ship to Manson's current self-propelled hopper dredge Newport, with an overall size of 303 x 54 x 26-ft. (92 x 16.5 x 8-m) and 5,000 cu. yard capacity.
Construction of Bayport was a fast track project for the company.
The dump barge hull was recon- structed to become this self-pro- pelled, self-contained hopper dredge, and design work began only in November 1998. The barge, which had been working on a USACE project in San Francisco, was brought to Manson's Seattle yard in February 1999, and since that time was completely trans- formed under the guidance of Man- son's Dave Gertsch and Dave
Nielsen.

Cascade To Build 120MW
Power Barge
Cascade General was awarded the contract for construction of a 120MW power barge for MAN
B&W Diesel AG of Augsberg, Ger- many. The floating diesel power station will be built for operation in
Guatemala, and is a self-contained mobile power generation unit com- prised of seven MAN B&W type 18V 48/60 diesel generators mount- ed on a deck barge which measures 279 x 204 x 11.8 ft. (85.1 x 31.8 x 3.6 m). "This is a large, and in many ways significant project, which shows Cascade General's ability to compete in the interna- tional market for newbuilds," said
Cascade executive vice president,
Suren Menon. "This contract con- firms that our modernization and restructuring of work practices at
Portland Shipyard has moved us in the right direction."
The seven generating sets will be housed in an engine hall, which will be prefabricated at Cascade Gener- al. A steel deckhouse structure will accommodate control room, offices, workshops, supplies and electrical facilities. Siemens has been tapped to supply all genera- tors, switchgear and transformers.
The overall barge design was sup- plied by Kvaerner Masa Marine.
