15m Steel Tug – Twin Cummins Power

$350,000 plus GST
DESCRIPTION

Proven Commercial Tug with Twin Cummins Engines

This 15m steel tug gives commercial operators a substantial and versatile platform for towing, pushing, marine construction and general harbour or coastal work.

At 15 metres long with a 5.26m beam, the vessel offers the size, stability and working capacity expected from a commercial tug while remaining considerably more compact than larger ocean-going workboats.

The vessel's twin Cummins NTA 855M diesel engines provide the main propulsion, paired with a Twin Disc MGN-56BL gearbox for a proven commercial powertrain.

Twin Cummins NTA 855M Propulsion

Twin Cummins NTA 855M engines give this tug the power and redundancy required for demanding commercial operations.

The Twin Disc MGN-56BL transmission complements the engines and provides a robust propulsion package for towing, pushing and general marine work.

The vessel's substantial 5.26m beam also provides a stable working platform, while the 2.34m draft gives her the underwater profile expected from a serious commercial tug.

Commercial Navigation Electronics

The vessel carries a Raymarine commercial electronics package, including:

  • Radar
  • Sounder
  • GPS
  • Commercial navigation equipment

This equipment provides the operator with the information required for effective navigation and day-to-day commercial operations.

Built for Towing, Pushing and Marine Work

This vessel provides a practical platform for operators looking for a dedicated commercial tug rather than a general-purpose work boat.

Potential applications include:

  • Towing operations
  • Barge pushing
  • Marine construction
  • Harbour support
  • Pontoon and infrastructure projects
  • Salvage support
  • General commercial marine work
  • Coastal support operations

Her steel construction, twin-engine configuration and substantial beam make her particularly suited to operators who need a robust working vessel.

Substantial Fuel Capacity

The vessel carries approximately 13.5 tonnes of fuel, providing useful endurance for extended commercial operations and reducing the need for frequent refuelling during suitable work programs.
