    NEW ORLEANS, LA, August 18, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- From welding in a shipyard to plying the Gulf on an OSV or piloting a towboat on the inland rivers, it's all in a day's work in the workboat industry. Capturing a day in the life of the commercial marine industry is the theme of the 2017 Workboat magazine photo contest, which runs through Aug. 31.

"Whether you are on the water, in the shipyard or on a rig, we want to know what your workboat day looks like," said David Krapf, editor in chief of WorkBoat.
