Emmett Foss Christened at Rainier Shipyard
The new, shallow-draft tug Emmett Foss will head for Alaska's North Slope to work on a major oil-development project in late June following its construction and christening on at Foss Rainier Shipyard.
During the christening ceremony on June 3, Foss Vice President for Technical Services Mike Magill, who oversees Foss shipyards, said the Rainier crew had gone beyond the call of duty to deliver this vessel safely, on time and on budget.
He added, The Emmett Foss project is a great example of how Rainier Shipyard delivers on its commitments . . . They really are the best in the business.
With a draft of just 3.2 feet the tug is ideally suited to land barges carrying modules, supplies or other kinds of cargo on Arctic beaches where the water is too shallow for conventional tugs.
The 73-foot-long tug also packs plenty of power, with a rated horsepower of 1,437 and a bollard pull of 25,000 pounds.
The Emmett Foss is nearly identical to the Capt. Frank Moody, delivered two years ago by the Rainier Shipyard to Foss sister company Delta Western and currently being used for fuel deliveries in Western Alaska. (See article on page 15.)
Dan Cole was the engineering project manager during construction of the Emmett Foss. Dan Riser is master of the tug.
The tug is named for Emmett Weichbrodt, 8, a second grader at Hazelwood Elementary School in Auburn, Wash. He is the son of Art and Stacey Wright Weichbrodt, the grandson of Glenn and Sandra Campbell Wright, the great-grandson of Sidney and Barbara Foss Campbell and the great-great-great grandson of company founders Thea and Andrew Foss.
Saltchuk Resources, which acquired Foss Maritime in 1987, has maintained the tradition of naming most tugs after members of the founding family.
