| 摘要： | In late May, Bayou La Batre, Ala.-based Steiner Construction Company delivered a pair of new-built towboats to American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL), with both vessels joining ACBL's operations in the Houston area. The towboats, named the mv. Texas Transporter and the mv. Houston Honor, replaced the mvs. Colt and Mike Charlieville, respectively, two older vessels in ACBL's fleet. The Texas Transporter and the Houston Honor, which both feature Veth Z-drives from Sewart Supply, represent a significant and ongoing investment by ACBL in its operations along the Gulf Coast. "These will support our liquids business and fleeting operations in the Houston Ship Channel in the coming years," said Bill Foster, senior director of boat maintenance for ACBL. "Houston is an extremely customer-focused location for ACBL, and new and highly reliable equipment is very important here. ACBL is looking to continue to upgrade our fleet and equipment to meet the needs of our teammates and customers for the lone haul." |
