Genesis Eagle is a 6140 hp pin boat.
JRT Moran and Capt. Brian McAllister do an assist of an ULCV.
Pegasus gives Mount St. Elias an assist as it moves DBL 82 out of IMTT bound for New Haven.
Andrea gives HMS Liberty an assist as it delivers a bunker barge to Port Elizabeth.
Miriam Moran delivers a pilot to the ship.
Mary Turecamo assists a container ship.
Doris waits for a job to approach in the Upper Bay,
and finally, Kirby Moran moves in closer to an incoming ship.
