“Bollinger is ending the year on a positive note with the recent delivery of several vessels, and we are bringing in 2008 on a great note with the signing of these three units with Bouchard,” said Chris Bollinger, executive vice president of new construction for the Lockport-based shipbuilder.

The contracts are for one 80,000-barrel and two 60,000-barrel barges.

Contract details were not disclosed. The 80,000-barrel tank barge, to be built at Bollinger’s Harvey shipyard, is a 399-foot vessel with 12 cargo compartments and three separate pumping systems.

The two 60,000-barrel tank barges, being built at Bollinger’s Amelia yard, are 350-foot vessels with 10 cargo compartments and two pumping systems. “These three barges will be built to the highest standards in the industry that both Bouchard and our customers demand,” said Bouchard President and CEO Martin Bouchard.
