29 TBP - 1650BHP - Tug

Wright International Ltd is able to bring this Harbour tug to the market direct from owner. She was specially designed for berthing super tankers and has the power to do so. Her 1650 BHP British Polar Engine is slow revving and allows the ship to operate at up to 12 Knots. Being built to Lloyds you know that her construction is sound and that she will last for years to come. She was built in 1960 at a time when ships were made to last and this is best understood when you step on board. Take a look at the Main Engine photograph and you will see that she is in good condition for her age. Priced to sell and able to viewed by appointment with her owner, she would make a very valuable asset to any company. If you are in the market for a coastal tug with 29 TBP operating at 12 Knots and you like the sound generated by these slow revving tugs then contact either Greig or Robert and leave the rest to Wright International Ltd.
