Wilmington Tug

Imagine pushing a vessel that's nearly four football fields long, and weighs 300 thousand tons! If that sounds too hard, how about filming it?

The Rowland family has been working the Delaware River since the American Revolution. Today, they own and operate Wilmington Tug, Inc. In 2009, it was the busiest tug company on that waterway.

We had an opportunity to document their work with MTU-Detroit Diesel engines, and tell the story of the family, and their reliance on an absolutely dependable product to service their customers. Along the way we had some great experiences and met some truly wonderful people.
