Barge "Maumee" and tug "Victory" @ Erie, PA
Rand Logistics, Inc. acquired the barge Maumee (formerly the James L. Kuber) and tug Victory in February 2011. The
Articulated Tug and Barge (ATB) is a US-flagged vessel and is operated by Rand’s subsidiary, Grand River Navigation.
The barge was originally built as a straight deck bulker in 1953 by Great Lakes Engineering Works in River Rougue,
Michigan and received a 260-foot self-unloading system in 1982. In 2008, the vessel completed a conversion to a new articulated self-unloading notched barge.
The tug was built in 1981 by McDermott Shipyard in Morgan City, Louisiana. In 2008, the pusher tug underwent
modifications including addition of two staterooms and conversation to a Hydracon connector system for pairing with the barge James L Kuber (now the Maumee) as an Articulated Tug and Barge with a combined length of 815 feet.
Cargo carried on the Maumee includes grain, stone, iron ore, coal, and other bulk commodities.
