   What’s the name of the location in Brownsville? Is it a shipyard?

     Will have to revert with the name of location in Brownsville.

   Is this the largest vessel/longest tow voyage you have made?
   I assume the primary towing tug is oceangoing but are there lateral assisting tugs also oceangoing? If so, do all of them refuel at the same location/time?
   Does the same crew make the complete voyage? If so, hope they’re paid handsomely!

     I believe that this is one of the longest tows we’ve made. Yes the Corbin Foss is an ocean-going tug and the assist tugs are normally what are considered to be harbor tugs. As for fueling locations, it is all dependent on where the voyages are going to, as fueling locations are vetted in advance as a part of the “Towing Plan”. Some of the crew will be relieved during the voyage.
