VESSELSCampbell Transportation recently christened two newly built state-of-the-art towboats and a drydock. The June 25th event marks the ? rst new vessel construction in Pittsburgh in 30 years, a signi? cant investment that will help create jobs and bene? t the economy. The drydock was partially built with a shipyard grant from the U.S Maritime Administration (MARAD) and constructed at the Campbell Transportation shipyard in Congo, WV. The construction of the two towboats at the Campbell shipyard in Dunlevy, PA also bene? tted indirectly from stimulus money provided through MARAD in 2009 for new industrial fabrication. The two new towboats, m/v Renee Lynn and m/v Alice Jean, have been constructed to comply with new U.S. Coast Guard Subchapter M inspection regulations. The towboats will be of? cially named after the wife and the mother of two long-term employees of Campbell Transportation; Re- nee Lynn Grizzel, wife of Steve Grizzel, Director of Human Resources, and Alice Jean Corigliano, mother of Ron Cori- gliano, Director of Regulatory Compliance. Harley Marine Services has brought its most powerful and environmentally friendly tug boat to service the Port of Los Angeles. The Robert Franco arrived in Los Angeles last week and joins four other tugs in the ? eet that assist cargo vessels and tankers in and out of the San Pedro Bay port complex.

The powerful tug is equipped with 6,800 horsepower and provides 91 tons of bollard pull. The vessel is also equipped with state-of-the-art marine electronics, tow winches and ? re and safety equipment.
