摘要：	Buffalo Marine christened the newest boat in its fleet, the Jacques-Imo, October 19. The ceremony was held at Star Fleet on the west bank of the Mississippi River with the city of New Orleans in the background. The 76- by 35-foot boat was purchased from Kirby Inland Marine and will operate in the bunkering and line-haul business for Houston-based Buffalo. Originally built in 2012 at Bayou La Ba-tre, Ala., by Raymond & Associates as the Scott A. Settoon for Settoon Towing of Pierre Part, La., it was acquired by Savage Inland Marine and operated as the Savage Opportunity. Most recently, Kirby Inland Marine owned it as the Gene McGlothlin. Buffalo Marine has 20 pushboats and 36 barges in its fleet with 180 employees. "When I buy a used boat, I want the finished product to be worthy of donning the Buffalo star," Buffalo Marine President Tim Studdert told the christening audience. He said he looked at, and rejected, a lot of boats, noting all would require too much rehabilitation and the associated costs. At Kirby Inland Marine s fleet, he crossed over a boat to look at two others that were for sale. What he decided was he wanted the boat he had crossed over, but he was told that one was not for sale.
