| 摘要： | Maritime Partners, a New Orleans-based owner of close to 550 towboats, barges and other maritime assets on long-term charter, held a christening ceremony February 26 for the mv. Chris Miller, the first of two 2,000 hp. towboats on order from Eymard Marine Construction. Eymard hosted the christening at its shipyard on the Harvey Canal, with the mv. Chris Miller moored bow-to-stern with the next vessel up for Maritime Partners, the mv. Kyle Smith. The vessel is named for Chris Miller who, along with Raymond Butler, serves as an owners' representative for Maritime Partners. "Between the two of them, they're overseeing construction at nine shipyards right now," Maritime Partners co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Austin Sper-ry said at the christening. "It's a tall undertaking and a difficult task, and they're doing it with grace." Sperry said he met Miller about four years ago at the recommendation of Jo Ann Harris, vice president of sales at Ar-cosa Marine Products, which builds many of Maritime Partners' barges. At that time, Harris reached out to Sperry to say he needed to meet Miller, who was about to retire from the Coast Guard after more than 30 years of service. Laughter erupted throughout the crowd gathered for the christening as Sperry recounted that first meeting with Miller. |
