New pusher tug delivered to Marine Chartering Associates
Verret Shipyard of Louisiana recently handed over a new inland pusher tug to Marine Chartering Associates (MCA) of Houston, Texas.
The 1,500hp (1,100kW) Eunice will be operated by Strategic Towing Services on behalf of MCA. It measures 65 by 26 feet (20 by 7.9 metres) and is powered by two Cummins QSK19 engines that each produce 750 hp (560 kW) at 1,800 rpm. The engines drive propellers via Twin Disc gearboxes.
The wheelhouse can be lowered to enable passage underneath bridges.
