Single voith tractor tug at work.
« on: December 29, 2006, 11:57:14 pm »

        Hi guy's
        Some Pics of my tractor tug pulling a Cranebarge
        The barge is 130ib & 6ftx2ft. The tug had a bit
         of a sweat on when it returned to port.
       
         regards

      Hi  Jay,
   
     The barge is for Towing purposes only, It's aiso designed for a stern tug as well,

      Regards
