Bludworth Cook Marine Articulated Tug Barges

ATB Connector System

The first Bludworth ATB Flexible Pushing System entered service in 1970. For decades Bludworth led the field in US ATB tug & barge applications. Since 2003, Richard Bludworth and John Cook have continuously refined and upgraded the Bludworth Cook ATB system to include POSITIVE LOCK bow systems and a flexible side pad system that allows additional barge notch tolerances. Pin vs. Pad options are now available as well. In 2014, John Cook retired from the business and Bludworth Cook Marine Inc now has the full strength of Bludworth Marine behind its services and products.
