TowBoatU.S. Launch Provides Containment Boom Services
Throughout South Florida

TowBoatU.S. Launch Service has been booming ships in South Florida's ports for many years. The company has a 38' landing craft that is loaded with 2000 feet of boom which is docked just North of Port Everglades at Lauderdale Marina. The location of this boat allows the company to begin deployment of boom in most berths within Port Everglades in less than an hour and many times, much sooner. TowBoatU.S. has captains standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to insure prompt, professional service. The company also has a large stock of containment and absorbent boom loaded in a trailer at their Pompano Beach warehouse which can be dispatched to the scene of a spill at a moment's notice.

John Smith, the Business Development Representative for TowBoatU.S. Launch Service stated "In recent months we have responded to customers requiring containment boom from the Port of Palm Beach to the Port of Miami. The reasons for the need for boom vary from case to case... from a ship experiencing a small hydraulic leak to a vessel requiring boom for a refueling operation to Navy vessels requiring boom to be deployed for the duration of their port call. In every case, we were able to do what we do best; help eliminate one area of worry for the ship's agent or owner."

TowBoatU.S. Launch Service always welcomes calls to help solve unusual problems. The company has been assisting the recreational and commercial marine industry for more than 20 years and rest assured; they are looking forward to the next challenge that comes their way!
