Our tug Island Trader completed delivery of a 200′ long General Electric wind turbine test blade to Boston, Mass. in February.  The blade was trucked across the US to Charleston, SC where we loaded it onto a 220′ ABS deck barge and secured it for coastwise transit.  Our tug Island Tide passed the loaded barge to the Trader who handled the coastwise tow from Charleston to Boston.  Our Special Projects Team met the Trader in Boston and supervised the discharge of the blade from the barge back to a specialized truck for final delivery to the General Electric testing facility.
