The Gretchen V. Cooper, a 110'×33' linehaul towboat built by Blakeley Boat Works (BBW), was delivered to Cooper Marine and Timberlands (CMT) in March 2021. BBW and CMT, both located in the port of Mobile, Ala., are wholly owned subsidiaries of Cooper/T. Smith. The company said the new towboat, which has a maximum 8'6" working draft, is the U.S.'s first linehaul towing vessel powered by Tier 4 Caterpillar highspeed engines with selective catalytic reduction. Blakeley BoatWorks is a full-service shipyard that specializes in small vessel repair, barge repair, and new vessel construction. It is equipped with a 1,900-ton floating drydock, 660-ton Marine Travelift boat hoist, and four covered fabrication shops. |
