Marine Log - April 2008 - (Page 35) Reinauer Transportation is upgrading its ocean tank barge fleet with vessels such as the RTC 26 from Bollinger Marine Fabricators (above), and 80,000 bbl RTC 86 from its Senesco Marine yard (at left) options will not be exercised or will be postponed due to the economic slowdown.” One company that has been aggressively expanding its ATB fleet is Crowley Maritime Corporation. It recently christened the fourth of 10 new 185,000 bbl ATB tank vessels that the company will take delivery of by the end of 2010. Built by VT Halter Marine, Pascagoula, Miss., the vessels christened were the 9,280 hp tug Integrity and barge 650-4. Crowley’s petroleum services is chartering the VT Halter Marine-built ATB from Crowley’s technical services group, and operating it for BP under a timecharter agreement. Crowley already has four, 155,000-barrel ATBs and three 185,000-barrel ATBs operating and has announced plans to build three larger 750-series (330,000barrel capacity) ATBs for delivery by the middle of 2013. Once all vessels are received, the fleet will stand at 17. “We are focused on our customers’ needs and as they continue to provide us with requests for larger and faster vessels of this type, we are certainly poised to respond,” said Steve Collar, senior vice president and general manager, Technical Services “The ATBs not only provide reliable and efficient transportation for the petroleum products they are contracted to carry but they have an outstanding safety record with zero spills to date.” SERIOUS AIR FOR SERIOUS PLACES Confined Space Air Ventilators 8”, 12” & 20” Models Portable Lightweight 848-8000 CFM, 110/220V 12V DC Pneumatic Americ Corporation 785 Bonnie Lane Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 For more information, call 800-364-4642 or Fax 847-364-4695 www.americ.com www.marinelog.com APRIL 2008 MARINE LOG 35 http://www.centa.info http://www.americ.com http://www.centa.info http://www.americ.com http://www.marinelog.com
