TRACOR ADDS TWO DOCKS—Tracor Marine has put two additional floating drydocks into service at its Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Fla., shipyard. The drydocks—one 220 feet, 2,100-ton capacity; the other 250 feet 3,300-ton capacity — both measure 87 feet between wingwalls and complement Tracor Marine's existing 350-foot, 4,200-ton Syncrolift marine elevator and transfer system. The addition of the new drydocks more than doubles Tracor Marine's capability to offer shipowners operating in the Caribbean and Southeastern U.S. waters timely haulout and repair service.
