Bollinger announced last week that it has completed the conversion of a 446-foot black oil barge and tug to an articulated tug and barge unit for Bouchard Coastwise Management Co. The barge was converted from a single-hull to a double-hull, a new ballast system was added and the stern of the barge was modified to accept the bow of the 127-ft tug Bouchard Girls. The tug was also retrofitted with ram assemblies and a Detroit Diesel 8V-71 generator. The ATB uses the Intercon Coupler System.
