22 TBP – 1465 BHP Coastal Tug

Wright International Ltd has been asked to sell this very useful tug direct from its owner / operator. She has 8 berth accommodation for her crew and she has full liveaboard farcicalities. This tug built in 1965 has been built to last and everything about her exudes an era that knew how to build ships. Her slow revving 4 stroke, 6 cylinder Ruston & Hornsby engine produces 1465 BHP at just 520 rpm. The power is transmitted down through her shaft to her fixed pitch propellers in Kort Rudders. She is able to work at around 12 knots and she has been rated at 22 TBP. If you are looking for a harbour / coastal tug then you could do worse than to consider this one. She can be viewed by appointment with her owner and she is able to be seen operating. She is in Class Lloyds 100 + A1 and that allows her to work up to 100 miles from safe haven all her specification reflects that. If you would like to arrange a viewing then all you have to do is contact either Greig or Robert and leave the rest to Wright International Ltd.
