Louisiana's Berard Transportation has completed the loadout of the U.S. Navy's newest addition to its fleet, the 2,800-ton Coronado. The Littoral Combat Ship was built by Austal in Mobile, Alabama.

Berard reported its team used 104 axle lines of self-propelled modular transporters to roll the 107-foot long, 418-foot wide vessel from its final assembly bay to a waiting deck barge. The Coronado was barged down river for transloading onto the drydock.

The move was completed in two days.

Platform supply vessels from Damen Shipyards. The four vessels will be built at Damen Shipyards in Galati, Romania.

The 80-meter-long vessel has a 720-square-meter main deck and improved speed performance for servicing oil and gas rigs, according to the Dutch shipbuilder. The design was launched at Europort in November.

The vessels will be delivered to WWS from early 2013 to the end of that year, establishing the newly-formed Norwegian company’s service fleet. WWS will enter into a management agreement with Remøy Management, headquartered in Fosnavag, Norway [North Sea Oil?], for vessel management and crewing.

Cool stuff!

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
