We do barge transfers between refineries and petroleum tank farms . We also do bunkerings (fueling) on cruise ships , container ships , bulkers , oilers , ATB's and pretty much anything that might require fuel oils .

General consensus

Between myself and other captains I've spoken with is that the captain may have fallen asleep and veered off course , ending up under the rake of a construction barge at that bridge site .
The Tug Specialist is an old Canal tug , meaning it was only 2 decks high in order to accommodate passing under bridges on the Erie Canal without having to request that they raise .
This shortened height may have been the reason she rolled under that rake and sank .
Not sure , all speculation of course and the truth may never be known , barring a miracle scenario where they find the 2 missing crew alive .

But the Specialist is a boat well known in NYC harbor lore .
It's a really sad day for three families , and this hits close to home for everyone in the tugboat community .
Thanks for thinking bout me ...I'm still up here doing what I love .
Everyone stay safe .

Down here, we say keep it between the ditches. In your case, keep it between the bridges.
