New Tug in Town - Part 2

 Following up on the previous post, the "new tug in town" has a acquired a name and owner's identification.


 Eagle Beach Contractors Ltd have bestowed the name Eagle Fury on the 25 footer. (At 4.99 gross tons, it is registered by number only, so the name is unofficial. The Official Number C34850NS has not yet appeared on the hull.)

In recent days the tug has been spotted at various locations around the harbour with a sectional scow carrying a crane. The tug operates in the pusher mode, using a pair of beefy looking push knees and tugger winches.

Eagle Beach is based at the old Fader Agency wharf near the Macdonald Bridge in Dartmouth, now also used by the Atlantic Pilotage Authority...

 ...and has been seen at Mill Cove in Bedford Basin.

As per the previous post, the tug is a "Victory" model, built by Progressive Industrial in Palmetto, FL. The twin screw vessel is powered by a pair of Cummins QSB engines totaling 610 bhp.
