Completed several months ahead of schedule, 'Star Commodore' is the latest Z-Tech tug delivery by Hong Kong-based Cheoy Lee Shipyards for Singapore's port authority, PSA Marine.
The vessel has a length of 27.4 metres, a beam of 11.5 metres and a draught of 5.1 metres. This is the second in the series of new Z-Tech 7000 tugs, fitted with larger main engines, providing a bollard pull of 70 tonnes.
Two Caterpillar 3516B, 2,000kW diesels drive a pair of azimuthing Schottel rudder propellers.
'Star Commodore' is the fourteenth Z-tech tug constructed for PSA Marine and will be the latest addition to their fleet of over 60 vessels.
The lower deck houses six crewmembers in three cabins. A further two-man crew cabin is on the main deck as well as two single officer cabins, the galley and crew mess area.
PSA Marine contracted the designer Robert Allan, Canada, to create this Z-Tech design. As with all Z-Tech tugs, 'Star Commodore' is classed to Lloyd's Register.
