In March, Jacksonville, Fla.-based Crowley Maritime Corp. launched and christened the Qamun, a 55,000-bbl. shallow draft, double hull petroleum tank barge built by Green-brier Marine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenbrier Companies Inc. The Qamun will be part of an articulated tug-barge (ATB). The 350′×88′×23′ ATB petroleum barge specifically designed for the Alaska fuels market will be paired with the 108' tug Aurora, which has been launched and is near completion at Master Boat Builders Inc., Coden, Ala. Delivery is expected in April. Once construction is completed, the ATB will head to Alaska to deliver clean fuel products in the western part of the state. "The Qamun, paired with Aurora, will bring a new generation of cost-efficient, sustainable service for Alaskan communities and business customers," said Rick Meidel, vice president and general manager of Crowley Fuels. |
