TradeWinds Towing replaces tug engines

St. Augustine-based TradeWinds Towing, which provides Jones Act-market coastal towing services along both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, has installed new Mitsubishi diesel engines on its tug Miss Lis.

   TradeWinds specializes in ocean towing and project cargo moves, and also offers services for marine construction, salvage, rescue towing and dredging projects.

   TradeWinds co-owner Rachel Smith said the company has had duel Mitsubishi S12R-MPTA diesel engines installed on its 82-foot tug, replacing engines that were nearing the end of their efficient engine lives.
