The Eleventh International LNG/LPG Conference, Gastech 85 was held in the Palais des Congres "Acropolis," Nice, France, from November 12-15, 1985. More than 50 papers were presented in nine working sessions: World Gas Supplies, LPG Production and Trade, Safety and Training, Development of Frontier Gas Fields: The Technological Challenge (a new session for the Gastech meetings), Transportation, Technology & Operations, Commercial, Documentation & Contracts, Gases as Transportation Fuels, Liquefied Gas Terminals and Storage, Technical Developments and Materials.
The "Proceedings" of Gastech 85 have now been published in the form of a substantially sized bound volume containing all the original papers and illustrative material, presentations of these papers and a skilfully edited verbatim report of the ensuing discussion sessions. The volume represents current thinking on virtually all aspects of the LNG and LPG industries and is essential reading and reference material for anyone who has business with these industries.
Copies of the "Proceedings" of Gastech 85 (8 V* inches by 113A inches, 580 pages) are available at a cost of £60.00 (or equivalent in other currencies) from Gastech Ltd. 2 Station Road, Rickmansworth, Herts WD3 1QP, England. Telephone: 0923 776363.

the fleet. Going into the ATB newbuild program (for example) we already had a substantial towed fleet of offshore barges – about 150,000 barrels, our “450 Series” barges – and they were getting a little long in the tooth, and we knew we needed a fleet replacement.” Hence the dramatic investment move
