Crescent Towing has taken delivery of the Kentucky, a 6,000-hp Z-drive tugboat built by Blakeley BoatWorks in Mobile, Ala. Both companies are part of The Cooper Group. The vessel is now working ship assist on the Lower Mississippi River.
In March, WorkBoat interviewed Jennifer Carpenter, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, about the state of the tugboat, towboat, and barge industry, including workforce challenges, regulatory priorities, and collaboration with the Coast Guard.
The Delaware Bay and River Cooperative (DBRC) in February took delivery of a new 65' fast-response skimmer vessel, the Delaware Responder. Built by Rozema Boat Works, Mount Vernon, Wash., the new aluminum vessel replaces the Delriver, a converted offshore supply boat that was christened in 1991.
