The tug J.F.Whelan was back at work this morning after sitting out the winter at the Nova Scotia Power Corp dock at Tuft's Cove. For most of the winter, it was sitting on the deck of the crane barge Derrick No.3, but was refloated last week.

This morning the tug and barge went to work at Halterm for some maintenance on the pier 42 extension. The crane has been fitted with a dredge bucket, probably for some bottom leveling work.
See the three part posting from last June when the tug was newly delivered to McNally Construction from its builders in Gaspe, starting with: http://tugfaxblogspotcom.blogspot.ca/2014/06/jfwhalen-part-1.html
