Steiner delivers tow to FMT

Steiner Shipyard of Bayou La Batre, Ala., delivered the 100-foot towboat David Goin to Mandeville, La.-based Florida Marine Transporters (FMT) on Oct. 10. “This was our first boat for Florida Marine and our first Subchapter M boat,” said Tara Steiner Marshal, the shipyard’s owner and president, who took over the yard’s ownership when her father, Russell Steiner, retired earlier this year. “It was a learning process for everybody, but it turned out great. We’re building more boats for them.” Designed by Sterling Marine of Gulf Breeze, Fla., David Goin is powered by twin MTU 12V4000 diesel engines. The towboat carries a crew of seven. Gulf Coast Air & Hydraulics of Mobile, Ala., supplied the steering system, and FMT’s in-house electronics group installed the electronics suite. (Source: Work Boat 10/31/19)
