This 19.2m steel tug combines proven commercial construction, twin Caterpillar main engines and an 8.3-tonne bollard pull with an existing 2C rating for Queensland East Coast operations.
The owner has recently refurbished and painted the vessel, giving her a clean, professional appearance and a strong foundation for her next commercial role.
Built in 1977 by Sing Koon Seng Pte Ltd to a design by Conan Wu & Associates, Singapore, she has the substantial hull dimensions and twin-engine configuration expected from a working tug.
The vessel uses twin Caterpillar 3406 engines, each producing approximately 400hp.
The twin-screw configuration provides the manoeuvrability and control required for tug operations, while the vessel delivers a reported 8.3 tonnes of bollard pull.
The vessel currently holds a 2C rating and operates under the following Queensland East Coast limits:
Area of Operation: Queensland East Coast Australia – up to 30 nautical miles offshore
The vessel has a listed crew requirement of 2, comprising one Master and one Engineer MED2, with an appropriate crew number of 4.
The vessel also has provision for 5 passengers, subject to the applicable operational and certification requirements.
At 19.20m long and 6.40m beam, this steel tug provides a substantial commercial platform for operators requiring a capable work vessel.
Her 2.85m depth and draft of approximately 1.80m light / 2.24m summer provide useful working dimensions for a vessel of this type.
The vessel also carries a listed deadweight of 56.45 tonnes, providing useful capacity for commercial operations.
The vessel carries two generators:
This provides useful redundancy for operators who rely on onboard electrical systems during extended commercial operations.
The owner has recently refurbished and painted the vessel, significantly improving her presentation.
The five exterior photographs show the vessel following this work and provide a clear first impression of her current condition.
For operators looking for a commercial tug without taking on a major cosmetic refurbishment project first, this vessel deserves inspection.
