Summary[edit]

Description

The Everlast is managed by the Upper Lakes Group and is a partnership with McAsphalt. The tug and barge use an articulated pin system and when coupled measure just over 500 feet. The tug Everlast features 6,000 Horsepower which is directed through a Z Drive at the tug's stern. It was in at this shipyard for repairs. Shelburn, Nova Scotia, Canada

The tug actually goes partly into the barge it pushes and they act as one unit.

Portolos Salvage and Towage of Piraeus has sold their 143', 6,000HP Greek flag tug 'EVERLAST' (ex-Bilibino) to Canadian buyers. The tug originally was built by Hakodata Dockyard of Japan for the Russian company Far East Shipping (FESCO) as an articouple linked ocean tug pushing 9,512 dwt, 118 x 23m log barges in the Russian Far East. Propulsion is by twin Daihatsu 8 DSM-32 diesels with controllable pitch props in steering kort nozzles providing a bollard pull of about 85 tonnes. Portolos Salvage operated 'Everlast' as a salvage tug since their purchase in 1997 assisting in the salvage of a number of vessels including the double tow/salvage of the burning tug 'Macedon' and 17,199dwt 'Rothnie' soon after purchase followed by the refloating of the abandoned gasoline tanker 'Serifos' under a wreck removal contract. Through 1998 and ' 99 she continued salvage and assist work.
