At sea you will find these hard chargers always ready to pump fuel to a customer ship, be it large or small, one at a time or two at a time.

These stack gas snipes , as they are sometimes called, are responsible for keeping TALUGA's four boilers in top operating condition and providing a constant source of power to the ship's main engines, turbo-generators, and auxiliary machinery. Their job, without a doubt, is one of the hottest and dirtiest as they must clean and repair their boilers constantly to keep them operating at optimum efficiency.
