There was a rare sight in Halifax harbour today, April 25, when two of McKeil Marine's busy tugs were seen (briefly) together.
The Tim McKeil and Beverly M 1 were alongside together this morning at the Cherubini Metal Workers dock on the Dartmouth side of the harbour. The Tim McKeil left not long after with the barge MM161 and a load of components, each mounted on a semi-trailer.
The Tim McKeil and barge arrived April 18, and soon began to take on the large cylinders (likely wind generator towers) destined for Dalhousie, NB.
Tim McKeil ex Pannawonica I is a 4800 bhp tug, built in 1991 and acquired in 2014. It is fitted with an elevated wheelhouse for barg work.
Beverly M 1 dates from 1993 and is a 4200 bhp tug the former Pacific Typhoon -13, Hunter -06, Shek-O -04. It also sailed later in the day for Sydport.
Ity will be interesting to see if the Tim McKeil and barge will use the Canso Canal en route to the Baie des Chaleurs.
