Master Boat building escort tugs

Moran Towing Corp., New Canaan, Conn., announced recently that it awarded a contract to Master Boat Builders, Coden, Ala., to build a pair of 92-x-40-foot escort tugs. The tugs will be delivered by mid-2025. 

Late last year, Moran awarded a contract to Master Boat to build a pair of 86-foot 5,100-hp tugs that will have bollard pull of over 55 metric tons. The tugs will be the first that Master Boat will build for Moran. 

This next class of tugs will be among the largest in the Moran tug fleet and will bring more power to accommodate the larger, deeper draft vessels coming into ports along the U.S. Gulf and East coasts. (Work Boat 07/18/23) Moran Towing to build two ship-assist tugs at Master Boat | WorkBoat
