Todd Galveston Yard

To Build Two Tugs For

Bay-Houston Towing

Bay-Houston Towing Company, being mindful of the constant growth of commerce through the

Texas ports, has contracted for two new tugs to be built by Todd

Shipyards Corporation at Galves- ton. These tugs will be the most powerful and modern tugs ever to be used in harbor work on the

Texas Gulf Coast, W.D. Haden II, chairman of the board, announced.

The twin-screw vessels will de- velop 3,200 horsepower, using matched 1,600-hp Nohab engines.

Fitted with Kort nozzles, the new

Bay-Houston tugs will have both the power and maneuverability to handle the largest of the super- tankers, LASH and container- ships, Mr. Haden said.

Bay-Houston Towing services oceangoing vessels in the ports of Houston, Galveston, Texas

City, Freeport and Corpus Christi, and will be ready to safely handle vessels calling at any Texas su- perport.

The increasing commerce through the Texas ports necessi- tates a faster turnaround time on all ships, and the tugs han- dling these ships must operate at a greater efficiency.

It is anticipated that these tugs will be in service about

August 1, 1975.
