Doughty Associates, was delivered to Wilming- ton Tug on December 19, 2001.

It was designed by Robert Allan Ltd. patches in the aft deck. The main engines are keel cooled with Fernstrum grid-coolers. The vessel has a 20,000- gallon fuel oil capacity, a 250-gallon lube oil capacity and 1,200 gallon fresh water capacity. The main hydraulically- powered hawser winch forward, sup- plied by Timberland, carries 400 ft. (122 m) of synthetic towline.

Fendering on the vessels will be a combination of Viking soft loop style fenders, and aircraft tires, the latter of which will be mounted on fabricated rims welded to the shell plating. These particular fenders eliminate chains and similar fittings that chafe and rust.
