Loaded
The Haggerty Girls/ RTC 107 ATB was anchored in the North River on Saturday with the 107,000 barrel barge looking loaded. We don’t see loaded barges at anchor very often but we do occasionally. The unit has been back and forth between the North River and the Arthur Kill for the rest of the week.

The accurately if unimaginatively named town sits between Weehawken and Guttenberg, NJ and lettering at the top of the…

The big one
The Christian Reinauer/RTC 145 is about as big an ATB combination as you are ever likely to see on the North River, one of Reinauer’s largest units with a 7,200 HP tug paired with a 477-foot 150,000 barrel barge. We did see Christian making trips upriver back in 2022 but this year we’ve just seen…

Fueling Long Island
Monday morning finds Vane Brothers’ Jacksonville anchored on the North River with its barge. Jacksonville, along with the similar Charleston, is one of two Vane ATB 4,200 HP units paired with 50,000 barrel barges based out of New York Harbor alongside numerous conventional tug/barge combinations. A third larger ATB, the Wachapreague, was up here over…

Staff meeting
The Janice Ann Reinauer / RTC 103 was Albany-bound on the North River with a New York Harbor products cargo Thursday afternoon.

After anchoring overnight off Hyde Park, the unit continued on her way at…

Sunset cruise
The Kirby Cape Hatteras / DBL 81 ATB left anchorage north of the GWB at sundown on Friday and headed for the Upper Bay where I believe she is currently alongside the oil products tanker Ipanema Street which arrived from Spain overnight, perhaps lightering a cargo(?). This is the first time I have photographed Hatteras…

Susan was underway on Christmas morning, heading for Providence, RI where she is set to arrive…

The big guy is back
The big Christian Reinauer/RTC 145 ATB was back on the North River Wednesday, the first time we’ve seen her here in several years. With a 7,200 HP tug and a 477-foot 150,000 barrel barge, this is one of Reinauer’s biggest units, with the barge even a bit larger than Nicole Leigh’s which we see more…
