Signet tugs perform tow

PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- The Noble Max Smith rig that’s been under repair at Signal International's west shipyard was moved Monday by the newest of Signet Maritime's tug fleet. The Signet Constellation and the Signet Stars & Stripes were used along with the tugs Daniel Colle, Natalie Colle and John Colle for the rig tow to Signal's east yard on Bayou Casotte. In addition, a 5,000 horsepower, $13 million tug built by Signet at the Pascagoula yard, the Signet Weatherly, left this week for a 520-mile trip to Ingleside, Texas.
