Colombian Tugs

Two years ago, I wrote about Columbian tugs here, and alluded to reading of some new ones in Colombia here.   Here and here –one more here–are some others from the great river in the Northwest.   Thanks to the Maraki crew, here is some activity from along the northwest corner of South America.  Click here to read Maraki‘s account of conditions in this corner of the Caribbean

The big tug Atlas, built in Japan in 1991, seems to have trolling rods deployed, or am I seeing that wrong.

Tayrona is from 2014 and Peru built.  Click here for more of the fleet.

GPC Tesoro is China built in 2013.

Here they escort Baltic Pride out to sea on a run to the  . . . Baltic.

Pino, China built 2007.

And Tortugas, RORO heads for the Canal, where I saw her about three years ago.  I have lots more photos of her there I’ve never used.  I wonder how long before Atlas‘ lines go tight with something huge.

Colombian Coast Guard interceptor boat?

All photos compliments of my sister.

A few more Colombian tugs can be seen here.
