(HAVANA, Ill.) — Jack Tanner Towing Co. has added the newly constructed 1368-hp Super Tiger workboat, M/V Miss Hazel, to its fleet. Built by Serodino Inc. in Chattanooga, Tenn., the vessel is powered by twin Mitsubishi S6R engines, each delivering 684 horsepower at 1,800 rpm. Miss Hazel will operate primarily around Havana, Ill., supporting the company’s regional towing operations.
The propulsion system includes Twin-Disc MG-5222 gears from Great Lakes Power, 5-inch sleeved shafts, and 52-inch Rice Propulsion four-blade propellers – delivering reliable thrust, maneuverability, and minimal vibration.
“Supporting Serodino Inc. and Jack Tanner Towing Co. on the Miss Hazel has been a meaningful project for our team,” said Brian Laborde, president and CEO of Laborde Products. “We’re grateful for the opportunity and proud to play a role in keeping their operations running strong.”
“Working with Laborde Products throughout the process made things easy,” said Evan Houghton, owner of Jack Tanner Towing Co. “We got the engines we trusted and the support to go with them. We always knew we wanted Mitsubishi engines in our vessel, and Serodino Inc. and I are proud that the Miss Hazel is the first of many in our fleet powered by Laborde’s Mitsubishi engines.”
