Tug boat "keewatin" still operating? I seen it coming out the burlington canal years ago with a barge load of slag

Speaking of Tugfax, Mr McKay hasn’t posted in a while. Hope he is well.

This recently appeared on LiveJournal under Shipfax. Mr. Mackay has had computer problems before posting from his remote Québec vacation home. I assume this is related, and applies to Tugfax, as well.

If it is the former Northern Transportation tug that came to the Great Lakes in the early 2000's from the western Arctic that you are inquiring about, then yes, it appears to be still active. Sold to RJG Construction, based in St. John's, Newfoundland around 2016. AIS shows the tug to currently be docked in the small port of Grand Bank, on the Burin Peninsula, island of Newfoundland.

Here is a specification sheet for the tug from the RJG Construction website: https://storage.googleapis.com/wzukuser ... cation.pdf

And Mac Mackay's Tugfax blog has had several posts about the tug over the years: https://tugfaxblogspotcom.blogspot.com/ ... q=keewatin
