The small tug Strait Raven arrived in Halifax from Sydney late August 30 with the McKeil Marine barge MM143 and tied up at the Cherubini dock in Eisner's Cove. Although a small barge at 542 gross tons, it has a clear deck area on hull dimensions of 43.90 x 16.46m, so can carry a significant size load.

Strait Raven was built by its owners, Superport Marine Services of Port Hawksbury, NS and is a twin screw 1,000 hp vessel, also equipped with a bow thruster.
A very useful vessel, it has carried out tows throughout the region, between Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
