More than a lift - this was full project ex*****on.
EcoAxis was proud to support the Canadian Coast Guard and Rhenus Logistics Canada with the tow notch project on the *Captain Molly Kool* at Bull Arm, NL.
The 115-ton tow notch, approximately **230,000 lbs**, had to be removed for inspection, transported, stored, and reinstalled. While the photos capture the heavy-lift moment, the real work started long before the hook was in the air.
Our involvement included project coordination, contractor management, logistics support, transportation planning, storage coordination, supply of equipment & materials, and field ex*****on through to reinstall.
The tow notch is a critical component of the vessel’s icebreaking capability, helping protect the vessel and support icebreaking operations. Work like this takes more than equipment - it takes planning, skilled trades, trusted partners, and a strong local network.
A sincere thank you to everyone involved, our EcoAxis team, Youngs Industrial, Akita Equipment, River Bend Transport, Battlefield Equipment, Crosstown Rentals, Clarenville Rentals, DCH Crane Newhook’s Home Hardware, ’s Construction Ltd. and Hol-Shot Delivers.
We’re proud to have worked alongside Rhenus Logistics Canada, Irving, DF Barnes, OilCo, and all others who helped bring this project together.
Proud to help deliver another complex marine project right here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
It truly takes a community.
