ZIDELL BARGE LAUNCH
November 26, 2007
On Thursday November 15th, 2007 the Zidell Marine Corporation launched the Lovel Briere, a 52,000 barrel, double hull ocean tanker barge. This particular barge is 289 FT by 78 FT by 24FT and will be used to transport various petroleum products up and down the Pacific Coast. Even though the purpose of this vessel is not exactly in line with the sustainable living that is being implemented in South Waterfront, I think we can all appreciate the engineering and architectural feats that are happening here in our own neighborhood. On average Zidell completes one barge every 10 to 14 months, which is rarer than full moons or shooting stars. If you missed the launch last Thursday be sure to check out the gallery for pictures from our local photographer Kent Anderson, otherwise maybe we will see you at next year’s launch party!
