[QUOTE=sailorman1981;137892]Question: Is Crowley using an ATB to supply the Western Alaska tugs with fuel/oil for the villages?
I know the Seneca or Sioux would drag a fuel barge around so the fleet could lighter off of.[/QUOTE]
Crowley charters foreign flag tankers to lighter from (the fuel comes from Asia), and also charters Kirby to do line haul tug and barge work from the Alaska refineries. If Kirby uses any ATBs in Western Alaska, I haven’t seen them. I do see Kirby ATBs in Southeast Alaska and BC.
