Even big guys need a little make over

Check out the twin props on this big tug

ANACORTES, WA - -  We walked by the major shipyard yesterday in Anacortes and I noted a tug in  for repairs / updates which looked a little different.  The  "Goliah" has "tractor tug" emblazoned in bold letters on both sides of the deck railing which identifies it as  capable of doing some real heavy work.  Those twin propellers make the tug look like it got a dose of steroids (4,400 HP power) when it was built in 1997.  It is now owned by  Crowley Maritime Corp. and works in Puget Sound.  With two oil refineries in the area is may be utilized to help berth tankers.
