Stern Section

The aft section of the tug is fairly self explanatory. Every two years the tug is drydocked or slipped for survey. Various major repairs have been undertaken during the last ten years. For more images of the hull please visit HERE for more details. If you would like or can supply more information Click Here to contact me.
