oh well, at least they are close to home
Actually, I was hoping they would make it incident free.

Dissapointed that she blew the port main engine yesterday?
Just a small delay. 24hr difference on delivery date. I’m sure it’s in the window of the contract.
I’ve never been on one of the big ones but don’t they have 2 port and 2 stbd mains per se?
2 x MaK 16M32C (2 x 8,000 kW)
'The Dove towed and serviced the SBX from Seattle to Hawaii and as far as Korea." Yea right
Just watched the Independence clear the jetties on the way to the Port of Brownsville.

It just proves what you can do when you have the “tool” for it.
Not too many US flag tugs that can do better.
Don’t poke the bear.

Word on the street is the ship-breaking company was so pleased with how well ECO did with this tow, they will be towing the next carrier to go. Well done ECO!
