May we remind you that Marcon International, Inc. has lists of charter-free tugs looking for back-hauls, tows of opportunity, short or long-term time charter and/or sometimes bareboat charter.

Daily postings of tugboats available for work world-wide are available on the internet at www.marcon.com . Just click on the "charters" section in the left hand navigation bar. A simple search feature allows potential charterers to quickly see what's available and obtain specifications and in many cases, a photograph or drawing of the selected tug - or other types of vessels and barges on request.

Internet forms also allow both Owners with charter-free tonnage and Charterers looking for a vessel to quickly update their equipment's availability or requirements.

A sample of recent tug charters arranged through Marcon include:

• Longterm bareboat charter of 4,000BHP azimuthing tug into Mexico.
