Catching a New Tug/Barge

 I think the next vessel is new to this blog.  At least when I entered their names, they weren't flagged before.

The tug Albert is ran by Andrie out of Muskegon, Michigan.

She was built in LaRose, Louisiana as the Hercules in 1979.

The project was not initially completed but the tug was bought in 1981 by the Tidewater Marine Company in New Orleans and renamed El Bronco Grande.

She was then bought by a company in New York and renamed the Craig Eric Rinauer.

In 2018, she was acquired by U.S. Oil of Appleton, Wisconsin.

She was given her current name.

She was heading up from Nanticoke to Sarnia.

I'm not sure what she was carrying though.

Anyway, it is always neat to see a new vessel.

One more shot before the main attraction.
