A true workhorse, this vessel is designed to suit the demanding and varied requirements of the modern port operator. It is desirable to have one efficient vessel capable of many roles and combining functions without compromising operations. To achieve this in any vessel involves a detailed design process utilising in depth study of the operating environment and needs of the end users. Based on a proven design by Maurice Napier and benefiting from his design input, the hull form of this 20m vessel has an exceptionally low block coefficient compared to her tug capabilities and 20tonne bollard pull. This allows her to make passages out to sea for pilot operations, crew transfer or survey work efficiently and speedily. Class beating manoeuvrability allow her to carry out tug and close quarter harbour operations with ease.
