The vessel will be primarily used by the navy to assist barges, submarines and other naval ships, open and close security barriers, and tow or push floating port operations support equipment.

The workboat has been specifically designed by the company to feature two Pullmaster hydraulic deck winches for use in multiple mooring configurations, as well as heavy-duty fendering to ensure optimal protection during operation.

In addition, the company has integrated a number of highly functional features onto the boat, including an H-bitt on the bow, mooring bitts at the shoulders and stern quarters, and an aft taffrail for a smooth sweep of the tow hawser during towing activities.

The vessel has been designed to meet the latest American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards and addresses the US Navy’s stability requirements, including damage stability.

Delivery of the workboat is expected during the third quarter of this year.
