Obregon, Built By Notional Steel & Shipbuilding U.S. Navy Ship Overhaul Market JULY 16, 1985 - An Update - (SEE PAGE 4) INTRODUCING THE EPOCH MARK D SERIES A new era in product oil carrier design. Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application. Conventional EPOCH MARK Hitachi Zosen is also expanding this new structural system for the development of combination cargo carriers such as PROBO or Tank configuration OBO carriers other than oil tankers.

Marquette’s owners, that include its founders and buyout firm KRG Capital Partners LLC, are working with investment bank Harris Williams & Co on an auction for the company that is already underway, the people said this week. Private equity firms and family offices are vying for Marquette, including MSD Capital LP, the private investment firm of Michael Dell and his family, the people added. Marquette has annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of close to $150 million, the people said. The sources asked not to be identified because the sale process is confidential. Marquette, KRG, Harris Williams and MSD representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Paducah, Kentucky-based Marquette provides towboat services in the Mississippi River and other major waterways in the United States. It operates more than 120 boats and 850 barges, serving agricultural and energy companies. The company was created in its current form in 2007 with the merger of three family-owned businesses and backing from KRG.
