SIGNET MARITIME ADDS TO FLEET OF ASD TUGS

摘要

Last quarter, signet maritime, pascagoula, MS, took delivery of the 72 ft Signet Vigilant from the company's shipyard Signet Shipbuilding & Repair, Pascagoula, MS. The tug is the ninth Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tug added to Signet's fleet in the last four years. The tug, which will operate from Signet's Pascagoula Division, will perform rig escort, ship assist and barge assist work. The 30-metric tonne bollard pull, EPA Tier 3 compliant, ASD tug is the first designed by Castleman Maritime, LLC, Clear Shores, TX, for Signet. Its compact design allows for improved capabilities to assist marine vessels in tight quarters and shallow inland waterways.
