Tugboat Information

KRISTY ANN REINAUER

Built in 1962, by Main Iron Works of Houma, Louisiana (hull #114) as the Interstate Transporter for Interstate Oil Transportation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She was the first tug to be built by Main Iron Works for Interstate Oil Transport.

At the time Interstate Oil Transportation maintained two fleets. The Northeast Fleet or "Green Fleet" that operated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a Southern Fleet or "White fleet" that operated out of Tampa, Florida. The Interstate Transporter was assigned to the "Green Fleet."

However, in the years that followed many changes came to Interstate Oil Transport. A company called Southern National Resources (also known for a time as SONAT Marine) acquired Interstate Oil Transport. SONAT eventually sold out to Maritrans Operating Partners LLP. of Tampa, Florida.

For time, the tug was chartered to Moran Towing in Charleston, South Carolina. Where she was repainted in Moran Towing colors and moved scrap barges in and around Charleston and along the Intercoastal Waterway.

In 1998, Maritrans's northeast fleet was thinned and many of the vessels where acquired by K-Sea Transportation Partners of Staten Island, New York, Reinauer Transportation (also of Staten Island, New York) and Vane Brothers of Baltimore, Maryland.

The Interstate Transporter was acquired by Reinauer Transportation Companies of Staten Island, New York. Where she was renamed as the Kristy Ann Reinauer.

She is a square bow pushboat rated at 2,000 horsepower.
