| 摘要： | Royal "Roy" Veal is captain aboard the mv. Kelso, a 1,200 hp. towboat assigned to Turn Services' Dockside Fleet. Veal earned his first license as a steersman in 2011. And while he's worked on Turn Services' towboats since 2009, his career in the maritime industry goes back to the beginning of the 2000s.Veal's father and uncle both did stevedoring work on the Mississippi River in the New Orleans area, so his initial years in the industry included barge cleaning and repairs and stevedoring work, first at Avondale, then for Maritrans. He later took a job with ACBL, working at Ar-mant Fleet.In each role, Veal committed himself to learning, not just the job he was hired for, but other skills on the job site."Whenever I get around anything, I pick up on everything," Veal said. "That was my objective."At Armant Fleet, that meant Veal quickly expanded his skillset to include operating a crane and bobcats and more."I started surveying the barges, writing up the repairs," Veal said. "I became a little dock foreman."In 2002, Turn Services took over the barge services contract for Armant Fleet, and that's when Veal met Frank Morton, who started Turn Services in 1990. In 2003, Morton hired Veal as a manager.Veal served in that role at various facilities for five or six years. |
