摘要：	Chem Carriers, a Sunshine, La.-based operator of towboats, tank barges and a fleet at Mile 207 on the Lower Mis-sissippi River, christened a pair of towing vessels June 23 in a ceremony held at the Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah, Texas. The new vessels, designed by En-tech and built at Verret Shipyard in Plaquemine, are named the mv. Capt. Frank W. Banta and the mv. Ben Hays. The Capt. Frank is named after the fa-ther of Chem Carriers Managing Own-er Frank Banta Jr. and Port Captain Rob-ert Banta. The mv. Ben Hays is named for the company's chief operating officer, who is also Frank Banta Jr.'s son-in-law. It was a family affair, befitting a busi-ness with rich family ties and a long his-tory of operating on the nations inland waterways, particularly the Mississippi River, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Houston Ship Channel. Nick Kohnke, director of marketing for Chem Carriers, offered a brief history of the Banta family and of Chem Carriers, which was founded in 1994. The family's connections to the maritime industry go back to the Banta brothers' grandfather, JW Banta, who got his first boat in 1916 at the age of 16. He would soon marry, and he and his wife would go on to have three daughters and three sons, including Frank W. Banta Sr.
