Tug boats whyalla

The Chapman or Chappy as it is more affectionately known will be used to manoeuvre the barge that will provide a working platform for the heavy duty demolition of the old jetty and construction of the new jetty. It will also be a working tug to move various pieces of the jetty away from the site during demolition. The barge is being prepared in Port Adelaide before being towed to Whyalla by a bigger tug.
