The Exxon Mediterranean, for merly the Exxon Valdez, returned to a dock at National Steel & Shipbuild ing Co. on Friday after the sea trials that began on Aug. 29. “The sea trials were most success ful,” Exxon spokesman Les Rogers in Houston said. “Everything went well. There’s just some minor adjust ments that have to be made to oper ating equipment.” NASSCO spokesman Fred Hallett said that the adjustments are minor. “There are just some minor things that have to have finishing touches, a plug that has to be put in here, something else there,” Hallett said. “It’s nothing major. It’s just a matter of calibrating some of the equip ment.” As the Exxon Valdez, the ship caused the nation’s worst oil disaster when it ran aground on Alaska’s Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989, spilling almost 11 million gal lons of oil. It was returned to NASSCO’s shipyard in San Diego, where it was built and delivered to Exxon for service in 1986. Repairs on the 32,000-ton ship be gan in August 1989 and ended in .My- Workers replaced the single hulled ship’s mangled steel with 3,000 tons of new, inch-thick steel in a job that cost $30 million. The tanker was renamed the Ex xon Mediterranean in July and Ex xon said it would be put in service in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. As one of the biggest tankers in its fleet, Exxon officials said thei is too big for any U.S. Pacific | when fully loaded. They also said declining prodj lion from Alaskan oil fields hasf duced the need for such large t ers to be used on West shipping routes. “Over the next several days, s ship will be fueled and provisioi for its voyage to the Middle Easij Singapore,” Rogers said. “Thee departure time is not firm, butinj be announced in advance.” Coast Guard spokesman Cmdr. Larry Solberg said CoJ Guard officials were on board I portion of the sea trials and gavetl tanker a passing mark. es nv< CHRIS V [The Batta A copyrig |nning tot raphics C iblishers :xas A&M ;nts obtair [xtbooks.
