M/V UŊALAQ
As a Vessel Operating Common Carrier, Bowhead has a shallow draft Landing Craft, the M/V Unalaq, built in 2014 to facilitate our lighterage operations. Combined with our all-terrain forklift loaders, the lighterage/beach operations take the cargo off the Line Haul Barge for the final half mile to the beach and delivery to our customers.
