Historical Notes
George Schneider (2023) Writes: In Bouchard service she was an ATB Tug mated to the tank barge B-205. Since 2021 she has been operated by Centerline Logistics and homeported out of Portland OR. Kyle Stubbs (Email to Nauticapedia 11/08/2023) stated "Arriving at the waterfront park near downtown, the first thing to catch my eye was a large tug wearing the distinctive red stripe adopted by Centerline Logistics. Having kept up with the Tugster reports of the Bouchard fleet's diaspora, I quickly picked up from the vessel's design that this tug, the OSPREY (1189191), had come from that fire sale. This vessel was hull 500 out of Bollinger's Lockport yard, delivered in 2006 as the LINDA LEE BOUCHARD."
