Ship
Assist Tugs
Ship assist tugs are primarily used for
assisting large cargo ships with the docking process.
Their high power and specialized manoeuvrability enable them to guide large
vessels in and out of a harbour.
Ship assist tugs built to our designs
have consistently proven to be more economical to build and operate than other
harbour tugs with comparable thrusts. Ease of line
handling, crew comfort and safety during ship assisting is incorporated into
each design.

Two recently built identical tugs
Baru and Guya operate in Australia.
Their manoeuvrability is 12.7 knots
ahead, 12.3 astern, and 5.5 knots sideways.
As well as performing ship assist duties,
the addition of specialized equipment allows Baru to serve as a
fire fighter and Guya as the navaid maintainer.

no green water on deck. Cape Pasley is one of the most powerful Z drive tugs
for her size in Australia and has set new performance values. |

The Tiger Pride and Tiger Spirit perform as ship assist tugs
and also as line towing tug boats. These tugs have a bollard pull equal to
other Z drive tugs in Vancouver harbour.
They can be built for less than half the cost of a 24 M Z drive tug with
comparable bollard pull. |
