Moran acquires three docking tugs

摘要

Moran has launched three new ship-docking and escort tugboats, expanding its fleets and capabilities at the ports of Baltimore and Norfolk, Va. The Capt. Jimmy T. Moran class tugs - Marie Moran, Katie T. Moran and Annabelle Dorothy Moran - are all z-drive tractors. The vessels have a wide-beam design that enhances stability and features more spacious crew accommodations than Moran's previous tractor tug classes. Rated 5,100 hp and producing 68 tons of bollard pull, the tugs can handle Post-Panamax ships, as well as some within larger classes.
