MARINE CARRIER AB

Marine Carrier is a tug and barge company based in the port of Pitea in Sweden. They only came to our attention when our eagle eyed contributors in the Kiel Canal are photographed one of their vessels. They claim to have the ability to support anchor-handling operations, hence their inclusion here.
