| 摘要： | The mv. Ron Nokes, a 4,000 hp. twin-screw towboat built by Steiner Construction Company, Bayou La Ba-tre, Ala., was put into service the week of February 15. While it bears the stack insignia and colors of Kirby Inland Marine, which is indeed operating it under a long-term bareboat charter, the vessel is owned by Hines Furlong Line. It is the largest towboat that Steiner Construction has ever built and the first new "high horsepower" towboat to enter Kirby s fleet in many years. Ron Nokes, for whom the vessel is named, said he first learned of his being the namesake while having lunch at the Nashville airport with Kent Furlong, president and CEO of Hines Furlong. "Kent unwrapped a metal plaque with the image of a towboat on it and asked what I thought about it." He said he was flabbergasted when he saw his name on the nameboard. "Really, I was totally overwhelmed and humbled that he would name a boat after me, an old barge builder and not a family member or anything." |
