New enviro tug joins Long Beach fleet

The Port of Long Beach has taken delivery of a new environmentally friendly dolphin-class, diesel electric hybrid tugboat, a vessel custom-built by Foss Maritime of Seattle to help ports clean the air. The new green-and-white tug, named the Carolyn Dorothy, can do the same work as a traditional tug assisting the largest freight ships move safely in and out of the harbor, but with 44 percent less pollution.
