Terral RiverService, the towing company, terminal operator and aggregate supplier based in Lake Providence, La., put into service recently the second of two new towboats from New-South Marine Construction, Greenville, Miss. In essence, the new vessels serve to make up a tandem "father-son" combination of boats that Terral RiverService will operate on the Lower Mississippi River. Named the mv. Travis Terral, the 140-foot, 4,560 hp. vessel was delivered in March. The other new towboat is the mv. John C. Terral, delivered by NewSouth in 2021, and similar in size and horsepower, except for its retractable pilothouse. The vessel's namesake, Travis Ter- ral, 51, is a commercial and residential realtor and member of Terral RiverSer-vice's board. He is the youngest son of the company's co-founder, John C. Terral, who formed the company with Tom Gattle in 1992 through a merger of Terral Barge Line and Great River Grain. |
