Best Boat in the fleet

We asked Hugh Steger, Senior Vice President-

Operations, M/G Transport, about his company's experience with the M/V Hugh B. Steger:

It has done an excellent job for us in our coal tow operation.

Captain Supple is very pleased.

He said it's the smoothest boat he ever handled'. Why don't you talk to him?"

We did, and Captain Harold Supple told us

For handling and maneuverability, the Steger is a good shover and a good handler, with great visibility, too. We have a fleet of 12 owned and chartered towboats to push our 245 barges. I never drove one of these Hydrodynes before believe this is the best boat we have in the . Our Chief Engineer says it's the best built he ever saw. M/G is really pleased with it, am too."

When you need a new towboat, talk to a

Hydrodyne owner first. Then talk to St. Louis Ship, the only yard that builds them.
