Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) is exercising its option to build a second 240,000-bbl tank barge for oil and chemicals at Gunderson Marine in Portland, Oregon.
The Jones Act barge will be designed to be paired with one of OSG’s existing modern tugs and will be delivered in the second half of 2020.
It will replace a unit that is expected to be phased out of service before the new barge arrives.
