Historical Notes
Dirk Septer stated "unfinished hull of Island Scout was delivered to Canada secured in a steel cradle welded to the deck of oil barge ITB Provider, now sporting a green funnel. Built at the same Chinese shipyard; company tug Island Tugger towed this barge across the Pacific Ocean (via Dutch Harbour, AK) as this proved to be more economical than the lowest quote."
