Drilling firm
must post bond
to recover rig

HOUSTON — Although
Zapata Corp. officials found it
curious and maddening, they
were ready this week to post two
$2.5 million bonds with the
Canadian government and tug
boat crews to free a drilling rig
seized under salvage laws.
The drilling firm’s represen
tative in Nova Scotia, Donald
Kerr of Halifax, had been au
thorized to post the Canadian
bank-guaranteed bonds late
Monday but a technical problem
prevented him from doing so at
that time.
Zapata officials and their
attorney termed it inept that
they were forced to post the

huge bonds to retrieve the 10-
story, $57.2 million jackup rig
Zapata Scotian.
A Halifax judge Friday au
thorized seizure of the rig,
which is on a barge moored in
Halifax Harbor alter eight tug
boats captured it floating free in
the harbor March 5.
Violent weather had broken
the rig’s moorings and govern
ment tugs captured it. Under in
ternational law, governments or
companies can file for compen
sation but Zapata officials said it
was rarely done.
The rig was to leave as sche
duled Friday but a lawyer for the
Canadian Department of Natu
ral Defense had it stopped
under a salvage claim. Zapata
said the lawyer would not accept
the company’s letter of guaran
tee from its insurance under
writer.
Kerr said the expenses of the
eight tug boats that retrived the
barge and of the harbor master
could not possibly come to more
than $40,()()(). He called the re
quirements of higher bonds “ex
cessive stupidity and inepti
tude.”
Zapata Offshore Co. Presi
dent Thomas McIntosh was un
happy the rig was falling behind
schedule.
“It’s tantamount to the U.S.
Navy or the Coast Guard claim
ing a salvage award,” McIntosh
said.
Zapata officials are particu
larly miffed that the salvage
award is being claimed on a rig,
which is not a vessel.
“All we have is the cargo on
the barge. We are the cargo on
another company’s barge,”
Zapata spokesman Joe Allen
said. “ Our contention is the\
can’t claim the cargo, loo."
The two $2.5 million bonds
sought in the salvage claim by
the government is based on a
percentage of the value as dic
tated by maritime law.
The matter will probably be
settled in a Canadian federal
court.
