Gnots Reserve Inc., a St. Rose, La.-based provider of fleeting and towing services on the Lower Mississippi River, has put a new towboat into service: the mv. Burrwood Wise. The Entech-designed towboat measures 64 feet by 27 feet, with a depth of 9 feet, 6 inches, and boasts 1,500 hp.
Eymard Marine Construction & Repair Inc., located on the Harvey Canal, built the superstructure of the Burrwood Wise, with Gnots Reserve completing the vessel at its repair facility on the left descending bank of the Mississippi River in St. Rose.
The Burrwood Wise is Gnots Reserve’s ninth towboat and its seventh new build since the early 2000s. The vessels work in the company’s 400-capacity barge fleet, while also offering tripping services to grain elevators on the Lower Mississippi in Myrtle Grove and in Jonesville, La., on the Ouachita River.
