Lazzara's I-Cube Barge Makes a Move
When the folks at Lazzara Yachts decided to move their state of the art barge to a location West of I-95 up the New River in Ft. Lauderdale, they called on the professionals at TowBoatU.S. New River. Lazzara uses this one of a kind barge at each of the South Florida Boat shows as a sales office; customers stay cool and comfortable while discussing their dreams of owning a Lazzara with the sales staff. Yacht Towing Supervisor Mike Knecht reported "When the guys from Lazzara called to discuss this project, I had my doubts whether the CSX railroad Bridge located just West of I-95 would be wide enough, but after doing some homework, I knew it would be tight and require some finesse, but could certainly be done without incident"
Mike's calculations were correct. The Tug Shillelagh and another one of TowBoatU.S. New River's twin diesel tugs completed the tow in early July. The barge slipped through the fendering system at the CSX Bridge with little room to spare on each side. Another satisfied customer!
