Macduff delivers new 16-metre tug

Baird Maritime

Macduff Shipyards, Scotland, have completed construction and trials on their latest newbuilding, and will deliver the recently named 'Sally McLoughlin' to John McLoughlin and Son.

The 16-metre general-purpose harbour tug has a gross tonnage of just 46 tonnes with a bollard pull of 23 tonnes.

The vessel is powered by twin Doosan 4V222TIH engines, through two Twin Disc MGX5222DC gearboxes to 1700mm Kort propellers.

The owners are reportedly very happy with the newbuild tug, which is designed for towing, pushing, pilotage, plough dredging, surveying and lifting in a compact vessel design.
