About this work
Tugboat Boss (1995) in Brofjorden at Lahälla, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden, discharging ballast water before departing. The tugboats are stationed across the fjord from Preemraff oil refinery to assist tankers going to and from Brofjorden Port, Sweden's largest oil port. The embossed name "RÖDA BOLAGET" (The Red Company) on the side of the boat was the former name of the company doing most of the towing and salvaging operations in Sweden before it was reconstructed in 1984. The tugboats are now painted in the new company's colors but the raised letters can still be seen in certain lights.
