New Tugs for Dominion Diving

Dominion Diving has added a pair of new Damen Stan Tug 1205s to its fleet. The two tugs arrived on the barge Jacob Joseph C towed by the tug Amy Lynn D. The new tugs are named Dominion Rumbler and Dominion Enforcer. They are likely at Pier 25 to clear customs, and will then move to the Cherubini Dock to be offloaded by crane tonight.

The third tug, Saint Georges is bound for Montreal. Curiously, the new Dominion tugs are marked Pilot, Suggesting they may have picked up a pilotage contract somewhere.

The Nova Pilot and Scotia Pilot had seemingly returned to halifax, but have yet to return the service. The Captain E.T. Rogers (Ex Halifax Boat Chubucto Pilot) is still covering most of the Arrivals and Departures.

the Nova Pilot and Scotia Pilot are both Jet powered boats, that were imported form Europe. Both suffered engine issues and loss of power, which led to them being sidelined and sent for repairs.

Halifax has 2 new pilot boats, Nova Pilot and Scotia Pilot. Both came from Holland via Emskip containership at the end of June. After some training and familiarization both are now in service.
