The ATL 2701 is a Canadian general cargo barge owned by J.D. Irving Ltd. and operated by JDI subsidiary Atlantic Towing Limited.
Formerly named Irving Whale, the barge underwent a refit in fall 1996 and was renamed to its present status in 1997.
The barge contains a spacious hold that was formerly used for transporting petroleum products, however it is now used exclusively to carry general cargo on deck. Recent manifests have included wood chips and structural steel.
Its area of operations is primarily Atlantic Canada. In December 2007 the ATL 2701 was contracted to haul a cargo of steel pipes through the St. Lawrence Seaway into Lake Ontario destined for the Portlands Energy Centre project in Toronto Harbour.
