Master Boat Builders Inc., Coden, Ala., has been awarded a contract to build two 86'x36' tugboats for Moran Towing Corp., New Canaan, Conn. The new tugs will be the first that Master Boat will build for Moran. The tugs, which will produce a bollard pull of over 55 metric tons, will feature two Tier k Caterpillar 3512E main engines, each producing 2,549 hp, along with two Kongsberg US 205S thrusters, and a Markey Machinery Co. DEPC-48 bow winch. Crowley Engineering Services designed the tugs, which will meet Coast Guard Subchapter M regulations and will be classed through the American Bureau of Shipping. A new 32-meter (105') crew transfer vessel design from BMT features a larger deck area and increased load capacity, along with BMT's Z-bow designed forsuperiorseakeeping ability. The fully hybrid powerdesign's improved load capability will enable it to play a bigger role during offshore wind construction phases and support larger vessels working on the projects, BMT said. |
