摘要：	Florida Marine Transporters recently put into service the second of six identical 2,000 hp. towboats from Steiner Shipyard. The Mandeville, La.-based barge line took delivery of the mv. Steven Sikes the first weekend of December. The other 2,000 hp. towboat is the mv. Erie Brumfield (see WJ October 18, 2021). A third is underway, due to be completed in mid-May. The mv. Steven Sikes is one of 11 that Steiner Shipyard is building for FMT. Prior to this, the Mandeville, La.-based barge line received from Steiner Shipyard the mv. David Goin, a 100-foot, 3,200 hp. towboat and four 88-foot towboats: the Heath McWilliams and Capt. Keith Lofton at 2,400 hp., and the Chad Douglas and Mo Chiasson at 2,520 hp. Like the others, the mv. Steven Sikes is named for an FMT employee who has distinguished himself in the eyes of owner and CEO Dennis Pasentine, and Sikes' path to prominence-that being having a towboat named for him-was no less compelling than those before him. Born and raised in Jonesville, La., near the confluence of the Ouachita, Tensas and Little rivers (which form the Black River there), he acquired his ability to fix things from his father, who was a mechanic and taught him all there is to know about motors, according to his wife of 27 years, Bobbie.
