Ashton Marine welcomes new tug Meredith Ashton

4/25 - Ashton Marine would like to welcome their newest tug to their fleet, the Meredith Ashton. Named after the daughter of Phil and Candace Andrie, she is the second tug to join the fleet. She is currently making her way to her homeport in Muskegon, MI after departing Fall River, MA, on April 19th.

Ashton Marine acquired the Meredith Ashton – formerly known as the C. Angelo – from Gateway Towing Co. Inc. of New Haven, Connecticut. Meredith Ashton is equipped with twin Caterpillar 3516 Tier 2 main engines, along with a 43’ upper house. She measures in at 95' long and 32' wide, with a hull depth of 13.7'.

Built by Thoma-Sea Ship Builders circa 1999, the Meredith Ashton will be one of the newest tugs to service the Great Lakes market. A previous tug named Meredith Ashton was sold to Great Lakes Dock and Materials and renamed George F. Bailey.
