Non union…most of their work is in the bay…think they only have two boats in long beach. Those harbor launch runs are feast or famine. Makes one wonder how they can offer schedules, benefits, etc… ---

Yea i looked at the equipment on there website. I only saw one real tug. The rest was crew boats and little push boats. I was actually wondering if they are able to keep the employees busy. Looks as if they would get squeezed outby thebigger operators if things were slow. ---

Not sure. They kind of look like the equivalent to millers launch in newyork. Not really a tug company. ---
