The entire project was set to be finished by early 2000. Stone & Webster's portion of the contract is worth about $40 million.
Westinghouse Electric Corp. contracted to supply a barge-mounted power plant for the Port of Mombassa Power Barge Project in Malaysia. The 48 AMW simple cycle floating plant will be powered by an oil-fired combustion turbine generator. Westinghouse also will supply engineering support. The plant was set to begin operation this month. It marks the fourth mounted power plant Westinghouse has received from Westmont Offshire Sdn Bhd. or its affiliates.
