RJ Marine's Masters have experience with just about every type of vessel, from small boats to yachts, tug and barge units and ships. Our Masters are available by the hour, day or per job.
During the Fall of 2005, RJ Marine has provided a licensed tug Master for two separate operations.
- First was the 90’ tug Sharon Elizabeth, towing the 110’ tug Snohomish from Oswego to Ludington, MI. RJ Marine was contracted to provide a licensed tug Master, as well as an engineer familiar with diesel electric drive systems. After a difficult tow in nasty Fall weather, both tug and tow were delivered safely to the owners in Detroit, where it was decided to lay up for better weather. Owner was 100% satisfied and looks forward to using RJM again.
- The second operation was a last minute emergency request for a tug captain for the 90’ tug Margot, lying in Fairport, Ohio. Within 4 hours of notification, RJ Marine had a tug Master on the way to the Syracuse airport. The Margot sailed from Fairport at midnight, bound for Oswego, towing the 147’ dredge John Emery. Voyage was completed safely, on time, and both vessels were turned over to their owner in Oswego.
