Maritime Partners has taken delivery of Titan, the second escort tug in a new series ordered by the company from Master Boat Builders of Alabama.
The first tug, Marauder, was delivered in May 2026 while the remaining six are scheduled to be handed over by 2027.
Master Boat Builders President Garrett Rice said the new tugs will be capable of both escort and harbour assist duties.
Titan has a length of 88 feet (27 metres), a beam of 43 feet (13 metres), a depth of 19.5 feet (5.94 metres), and accommodation for six crewmembers.
Two Caterpillar 3516E engines that each produce 3,500 hp (2,600 kW) at 1,800 rpm will drive Steerprop fixed-pitch, four-bladed propellers to deliver a speed of 13 knots and a bollard pull in excess of 90 tonnes.
The deck equipment includes a Markey Machinery DEPCF-52 75hp (56kW) electric hawser winch, though this can be easily replaced with a Markey DESF-48A 100hp (75kW) escort winch if needed.
The tug is also equipped with a dedicated pump and two monitors mounted just outside the wheelhouse for external firefighting.
Design work on Titan was undertaken by Canadian naval architecture firm Robert Allan Ltd in compliance with American Bureau of Shipping and US Coast Guard Subchapter M requirements.
