chronology of Ocean Motions contributions throughout the stranding refloating and preparation for towage of the barge "NORTH CAPE" 340.0' x 70.0' x 27.5' and her tug "SCANDIA" 

FRIDAY 01-19-96
   OMC received a call from Eklof informing us of that their tug & barge had gone ashore that afternoon.
  OMC setup 3 bases, one in Eklof's Staten Island offices, one at OMC headquarters, one on-scene Pt Judith.     
  Data files describing the hull geometery, compartmentation, tank tables, structural layout, actual corroded
      scantlings, were pulled from disk and the current loading condition modelled.
  USCG, naval architects @ MSC Washington, contacted OMC for situation data while doing parallel
      calculations.
  OMC and MSC then carried on a continuous data and calculation interchange over the next 7 days and
      nights

OMC had last worked with MSC 6 months earlier in June 1995 on the Apex barge/bridge collision in Vicksburg MS.
