Christening program was led by Keith Barnes, Director of Barge Operations and included speeches from
Joe Pritting, Vice President and General Manager of
Elliot Bay Design Group; Vince Piscitello, President of
U.S. Barge; Harley Franco, CEO of Harley Marine
Services; and Miss Anne Elizabeth Hall.
Pastor Marty Valder of Hope Church of Silver Lake,
blessed the vessel for its safety, longevity and
profitability while flying the Harley Marine flag and
throughout the life of the vessel.
ANNE ELIZABETH is a double hull petroleum barge
that measures 241’x 64’6”, with a depth of 23’6”. The
barge has a carrying capacity of 31,500 barrels with
two isolated cargo systems. The main cargo is
intended to be fuel oil, and the auxiliary system will
handle marine gas oil (MGO). The barge is OPA 90-
compliant with vapor collection piping onboard. She
is a sister barge to the David Fanning, Bernie Briere,
Nathan Schmidt and Lily Blair.
The barge was designed by Elliot Bay Design team
and built by U.S. Barge with the oversight of Harley
Marine management. We are pleased with the overall
quality and craftsmanship of the barge and look
forward to a continued and long relationship with
both parties.
