New tugs just keep on coming...No matter what the state of the economy, it seems there are always tugs and towboats — andtheir barges — being built at the various shipyards of America. Represented here are a smatteringof new tugs recently introduced while an additional 17 or more tugs are featured elsewherein the magazine.Although some shipyards have been working through their order books over the past year, andsome may face some challenging marketing tasks during the months ahead, we can alreadycount a similarly sized hatful of new tugs presently under construction for coverage in the 20<strong>12</strong>edition of American Tugboat Review.Left, Pass Christian,towboat for KirbyInland Marine,America’s largestoperator of inlandtowboats.
