Objective
My experience with tugs and tows vary in a wide range of tugs, tows and boat positions. Some products I have towed include logs, chips, rock, crane, mud, and oil. I have worked with Literiing, small deck barges, large deck barges, anchor handling and ship assist. I have worked on Tugs ranging in size from 65’ to’.130”. Some of the tugs were single screw and some were twin screw. I also have Z drive experience as well as flanking rudders.
I have a current 200 Ton MOTV license and current radar endorsement issued in December 2007 as well as Bridge Resource Management and Fire Fighting.
I am open to all positions available and look forward to interviewing with your company.
