SPARTAN II
Spartan II This 407′ long tank barge was built in 1980 by Bay Shipbuilding as Hannah 6301 for Hannah Marine of Lemont, IL. In 1989 her name was changed to E-63, but around the mid-2000s it was reverted to Hannah 6301. Following Hannah’s 2009 collapse, the Hannah 6301 and her articulated tug Mark Hannah were sold to Occidental Chemical Corp. Andrie Inc. took over operation and management of the pair, and in 2010 the barge was renamed Spartan II, while the tug took on the name Spartan.
Spartan II/Spartan mainly carries calcium chloride out of Ludington, Michigan to various Great Lakes and St. Lawrence ports, often trading as far down the Seaway as Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.
