Walking around La Placita, accompanied by the blasting of bachata music and the lingering smell of pinchos and empanadas, may transport you to Puerto Rico’s shopping and community corridor of the same name in San Juan.
At least that’s the hope for the organizers of La Placita Philly, a weekend flea market in Fairhill that opened April 10.
Every Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., small business owners can sell their wares, from treasured antiques and thrifted finery, to handmade artwork and jewelry, to tacos and desserts, for an affordable vendor fee.
Halter Marine prepares to build US polar security cutter January 7, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic
The US Coast Guard’s new polar security cutter (PSC) is rapidly progressing through the detailed design phase, and shipbuilder Halter Marine is actively preparing for its construction.
In July 2021, Halter Marine expects to complete upgrades to the launch way area where the PSC will be constructed.
The 460-foot icebreaker is the heaviest vessel per foot of length that Halter Marine has constructed at its Pascagoula, Mississippi shipyard.
The launch way has been fortified to accommodate the PSC’s 19,000-ton launch weight. The Crowley
Taino and
El Coqui were the heaviest vessels previously to launch from the company’s dock. These two vessels are 720 feet in length, providing a greater distance to leverage their weight.
Mississippi-based VT Halter Marine is in the process of getting its Pascagoula yard ready for the construction of the Coast Guard’s next-generation icebreaker, the Polar Security Cutter.
The yard is expected to complete upgrades to the launch way area in July where the 460-foot-long PSC will be built. The launch way has been fortified to accommodate the PSC’s 19,000-ton launch weight, the heaviest vessel per foot ever built at the yard.
“Based on weight per foot, the PSC outweighs those vessels,” said Bob Merchent, President and CEO of Halter Marine, referring to Crowley’s Taino and El Coqui, previously the two heaviest vessels ever constructed at the shipyard. “The PSC needs 22 tons of capacity per linear foot of rail line, and we have designed the new launch way to accommodate 27 tons per linear foot. We are preparing for our newest vessel while also looking forward to future, larger vessels.”
