ATBs heading north
ATB units were moving oil products north with the flood tide on the North River on Friday afternoon, with the Curtis Reinauer/RTC 82 coming through first followed by Kirby’s Cape Hatteras paired I believe with DBL 81. Both units were Albany-bound and seen passing the Hudson Yards towers in the photos.

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.
