What the above screen shot from our electronic chart with AIS overlay does not show are the barges at each dock in addition to the three tugs and our ship in the middle. One barge was being used for recent work on the international bridge and the other barge had docked in the early hours of the morning to load a shipment of large tanks bound for Newfoundland and Labrador.
A very capable looking ocean going tug is standing by to push the barge down through the Seaway and then tow it across the Gulf.
But even the hard working tug crew spending the holidays towing a barge has a bit of the Christmas spirit.
