Weeks Marine Inc., Cran-ford, N.J., has taken delivery of two new 62'6"×25' modified lugger tugs from Rodriguez Shipbuilding, Coden, Ala. The first tug - the Jack K - was delivered in late March of this year. The second is a sister tug to the Jack K - the William O, which was expected to be delivered in the summer of 2021. Rodriquez is also building Weeks a third tug, the 78' triple-screw James K, that had a scheduled delivery date of late October 2021. "Weeks decided to invest in what we have termed a modified lugger tug. The intension was to develop a small versatile vessel that could support dredging operations, transport a significant amount of fuel/water, and perform towing operations to mobilize jobsites," said Weeks' senior port engineer and project manager Shaun O'Brien. "With regard to some of the robust characteristics, we have a 1/2" hull, 1/2" side shell, and 3/8" deck." |
