Foss puts spec-built Tier 4 tug to work in California

摘要

Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the first EPA Tier 4 emissions-compliant tugboats is destined for California, a state where residents and regulators are passionate about clean air. JT Marine in Vancouver, Wash., is building the 110-foot Caden Foss, named after Caden Hansen, a great-great-grandson of company founders Andrew and Thea Foss. Foss Maritime has chartered the 6,772-hp azimuth stern drive (ASD) vessel, owned by Vessel Chartering LLC, a subsidiary of Baydelta Navigation Ltd. Delivery is sched- uled for late June 2017.
