Quintet tug deliveries to the Americas

Redwise specialized in delivering vessels under own power, is delivering a quintet of harbor/terminal tugs to central America. Starting off with the CMM JAROCHO and CMM MAGUEY, under Mexican flag with full Mexican crew, supported by Redwise’s own Dutch Master and Ch.Engineer, together with owners 2nd engineers. The RA3200CL stern drive tugs travelled the vast Pacific Ocean from Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Hong Kong, to their new home in Manzanillo. The Mexican flag and crew were a requirement of our principals Boluda, and by working together with all parties and the flexibility of our senior officers, a matching cost effective solution could be provided. Following right on the heels of this joint delivery, is the mobilization voyage of the two ART 80-32 rotor tugs from Hong Kong to the Caribean on behalf of Kotug and Seabulk Towing. The RT BLACKBEARD and RT RAPTOR are both built by Cheoy Lee and crossing the Pacific under the Bahama registry, en route to their new homeport on a voyage of 11.400 nautical miles. The vessel will do well over a thousand running hours. This does seem a lot, but is in actual fact far less then 5% of the running hours a tug normally does in lifespan.
