New Name And Symbol

Created For Largest

Canadian Towing Fleet

A new name and symbol have been created for the organization managing the combined operations of Island Tug & Barge Limited and Vancouver Tug. The two large towing companies integrated their fleets, personnel, and other facilities in November of last year.

The name now chosen for the inte- grated management is Seaspan In- ternational Ltd. The new symbol is a stylized seahorse within a pennant spelling out the "S" in "Seaspan."

While the Island Tug and Van- couver Tug fleets continue to func- tion under their own colors, Sea- span's name and symbol will begin to be seen along the coast of the

Pacific Northwest, and in other parts of the world in the near fu- ture.

A directory of the new manage- ment team assembled to supervise the activities of more than one thousand employees also presents the new name and symbol for the first time, and makes reference to "a lot of innovative ideas for the future." As indicated by its name, the new organization is set up to operate not only in Canada, but in other parts of the world.
