This classic tugboat will be sold to the highest bidder at silent bid AUCTION late February 2015, date TBD. To schedule a tour, or to get on the bidders list, please contact me ASAP. Please include return email address when responding to this ad. A bit of a project, she will be well worth the effort when completed. Comfortable living quarters, the main cabin is dry with a queen bed centerline forward, aft down the starboard companion way leads to the spacious open salon / galley with a propane stove / oven combination, diesel stove with oven, microwave, sink, and refrigerator. The tiled head and shower are located aft of the master stateroom to the port side. Engine room access is centerline between the head and the companion way. The engine room has easy access to both sides of the 348 12 cyl. cat., a Westerbeke 12.5 KW genset sitting in a sound shield located to the forward on the port side. Aft of the genset is a 4 cyl. Maxxon- Simmons auxiliary diesel engine driving the air compressor and the hydraulic system. All are in good running condition. 3-32 volt battery banks are located forward on the starboard side consisting of 6 6volt batteries each. All 3 banks are holding a good charge and power a 2500 watt trace inverter/charger. This harbor tugboat has a custom Blue Seas power panel system which was professionally installed and meets ABYC standards. The fore and aft decks have been plated so the lazerette and fol'c'sle are dry. The side decks do leak into the engine room and need to be resealed. She is rough around the edges and will require a bit of work, not to mention a few planks replaced in the hull. TRIPLE SCREW LUGGER FOR ESTUARY WATERS Some great rivers, like and Amazon and Columbia, empty into swift ocean currents so their sediment load is swept away. Others, like the Nile and the Mississippi, empty into enclosed waters like the Mediterranean or Gulf of Mexico. Their sediment load settles rapidly to form many square miles of delta and shallow waters. Each estuary develops its own types of vessels. On the section of the Gulf Coast where the Mississippi 2/24 16TH VOLUME, NO. 12 DATED 11 FEBRUARY 2015 meets the Gulf, shallow draft Lugger tugs have been earning their keep suppling the near shore oil industry. But their size has been limited by their draft which is, of course subject to the prop size as much as the hull depth. Over the years innovative tug designers and operators have found that three smaller engines, turning smaller props can deliver as much power with significantly less draft than a twin-prop boat with bigger engines. An additional advantage of the triple-screw arrangement is that, in the event of loss of power from one engine, the operator can still rely on two engines for maneuvering and safety. Triple-screw shallow-draft boats come in a variety of forms including pushboats and model bow tugs. Although he builds vessels of those classes, Joseph Rodriguez of Rodrigues Shipbuilding is perhaps best known for his in-house designed Lugger-type tugs. Their aft mounted deckhouse provides a convenient foreword deck space for cargo. A single drum aft mounted towing winch allows towing or, with blocks, the boat can be rigged as a pusher. Rodriguez recently delivered the Captain Nedo C. The vessel is a triple-engine Lugger powered by three Cummins QSK19-M engines each producing 660 HP at 1800 RPM. The 70 by 29-foot tug has a molded depth of 9.5 feet and is equipped with a M50 Pullmaster stern towing winch. Even though the tug has a hefty 1,980 HP, when light loaded with fuel and water, she only draws 6.5 feet. Even with full capacities or 17,000 US gallons of fuel and 26,000 US gallons of water she is able to access most of the necessary sites along the shallow estuary of the Mississippi River.

On the 11th February the minesweeper Bernisse will be berthed at the museum quay also. The three then form a special attraction of the historical part of the city of Hellevoetsluis. It is expected that the tourist attractiveness of the area will increase. The official opening of the Koningskade is scheduled in the last weekend of March. In the morning, was started with the shifting of the Lightship Noord-Hinder 12. Tugs towed the striking ship from the Koopvaardijhaven at the Kanaalweg tot the characteristic fortress. Related to the necessary space for the manoeuvring the Noord-Hinder was first parked in the big dock. The work in the dry dock meanwhile was in full swing already. The water level in the dock had to be brought up to shift the museum ship Buffel from the aft dock to the forward dock. Hereafter the shipdoor, which closed the dock, could be removed. The passage was free for the Buffel to leave the dock. Mid-afternoon both vessels were successful safely moored on their new location on the museum quay by crew of volunteers.

The Company’s founding shareholders comprised a veritable “Who’s Who” of the nation’s great industrialists of the day, including John D. Rockefeller, Jeptha H. Wade, and James R. Sinclair, among others. Popularly called “The Towing Company” for its entire 116-year history, the Company has been a significant marine operations link in one of the major economic lifelines of North America — the fourth seacoast and the Great Lakes Seaway System. The Towing Company has continuously evolved to meet the changing demands of the agricultural, steel, and construction industries, and the needs of the ships and tug/barge units which serve those industries. What is not so widely known is that “The Towing Company” is now a full-service marine transportation 4/24 16TH VOLUME, NO. 12 DATED 11 FEBRUARY 2015 company – actually a “Group” of companies engaged in marine-related businesses operating on the East, Gulf, and West Coasts of the United States, as well as in Puerto Rico, in the islands of the Caribbean, and internationally. The Great Lakes Group of Companies also includes: Puerto Rico Towing & Barge Co., founded in 1997, is engaged in marine transportation services in San Juan, Puerto Rico and the islands of the Caribbean; Tugz International LLC, founded in 1998, specializes in vessel design, construction, and chartering; Admiral Towing & Barge Company, founded in 1999, is primarily engaged in government operations; Soo Line Handling Services, Inc., provides line handling services at the US Army Corps of Engineers at the Soo Locks, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; and Wind Logistics Inc., a newly created company, participates in the developing off-shore wind turbine industry. Since its founding, the Company was headquartered in the Terminal Tower in Cleveland, Ohio until its move to its present location. The Company has always operated a Cleveland-based Shipyard. Originally on Jefferson Road in the Flats until the Great Cuyahoga River fire in 1952 when it moved to the present site in the Old River Bed, the Shipyard constructed many of its tugs and repaired all of the Towing Company’s tugs and barges throughout its history. Later, in 1983, the Shipyard entered the commercial ship repair business, but the scope and volume of this business was restricted due to the physical size of the facility and the limited capacity of its equipment. To revitalize and expand its traditional maritime businesses, the Company decided to embark on a bold expansion project. The Shipyard Expansion Project is a four PHASE project which, at a total cost to date of $11.345 million, included: Land acquisition (now totaling 7.26 acres with a potential additional 8.97 acres under environmental evaluation and contract totaling 16.23 acres); Environmental land remediation (from a former Superfund site); Bulkheading (1,776 lineal feet); Ground stabilization; Construction of a new headquarters building (7,768 square feet); Construction of a new indoor state-of-the-art shipyard facility (10,917 square feet); Construction of a concrete reinforced slip; Acquisition and installation of the 770-ton Travelift; Construction of a new 68 foot- high temporary Shipyard facility (10,500 square feet).

  • The Great Lakes Group and Its Affiliated Companies Are Committed to Policies and New Equipment That Support a Sustainable Environment
    Est. 1899 THETHE GREAGREATT LAKESLAKES GROUPGROUP October 2013 THE OLD SHIPYARD __________ THE NEW SHIPYARD The new temporary white Shipyard building was completed February 1, 2012 involved a company investment of $500,000, required 1,700 construction hours, and will create approximately 40 new full-time local jobs. The temporary building will be replaced in Phase IV by a 65,000 square foot permanent production facility with the goal of a 100-person sustainable work force. Supplemental berthing on the Cuyahoga River has been used for performing winter work maintenance and repairs to various lake carriers (e.g., M/V BUFFALO in Winter 2011-2012 and M/V AMERICAN COURAGE and S/S ALPENA in Winter 2012-2013). October 7, 2013 ABOUT OUR NEW SHIPYARD Great Lakes Shipyard, a division of The Great Lakes Towing Company, operates a full-service shipyard with a 770-ton Travelift and a drydock in Cleveland which specializes in all types of marine construction and repairs for vessels, tugs, supply boats, ferries, barges, excursion vessels, dinner boats, research vessels, large yachts, and off-site topside work of every kind. The Company and its Shipyard are “small businesses.” Located on a former underutilized “superfund” site in Wards 3 and 15, both are federally-designated HUB Zones in inner-city Cleveland with continuing high unemployment and under employment. A recent Shipyard Expansion Project was envisaged to take advantage of Cleveland’s central location on the Great Lakes; its great port and river; opportunities to expand our skilled manpower pool utilizing local schools and colleges; availability of underdeveloped and under-utilized land; and our conviction that by utilizing advanced technology, we could diversify and meet the competitive manufacturing challenges of the next century.

  • (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) in North America by Sa
    Molecular Phylogeography and Species Discrimination of Freshwater Cladophora (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) in North America by Sara J. Ross A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 ©Sara J. Ross 2006 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required finalrevisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Cladophora is a widespread freshwater filamentous cholorophyte genus and is frequently observed in eutrophic waters where it can produce large nuisance blooms. These blooms can have direct impacts on water intake for power generation, irrigation canals and can be aesthetically unpleasant. Much of the ecological and physiological studies on Cladophora have assumed that the populations of this genus in North America belong to the species Cladophora glomerata. However, this has never been tested despite that it is well- documented that identifying freshwater Cladophora to the species level is difficult due morphological variability under different ecological conditions. In addition, the species epithets for freshwater Cladophora are based on European collections and it is not clear if these should be applied to North America. This study examines approximately 40 collections of Cladophora from the Laurentian Great Lakes and 43 from various locations in North America ranging from the Northwest Territories to Puerto Rico. Initially we determined the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal cistron and observed sequence divergence to be low (0-3%), demonstrating an inability for this marker to resolve species delineation as divergence of this region was low.
