“Close quarters and narrow channels? Not a problem when
you’re operating the most maneuverable tug in the harbor.”
~ Mike Wilson • Captain of the Leader
Crowley’s uniquely-designed Harbor Class tugs provide superior safety and efficiency.
When it comes to assisting ships in tight, confined ports, Crowley’s Harbor Class tugs are the best in the business.
For starters, they’re designed and built to be extremely fast and maneuverable. Thanks to Voith Schneider cycloidal
propulsion units, our tugs are more than capable of working any part of any vessel. Our Harbor Class tugs also have
specially designed skegs that allow them to slow down and steer a ship at the same time. In addition, each tug is
equipped with a custom-designed winch that gives them rendering and recovery capabilities even in rough seas. And since it’s controlled
right from the wheel house, it allows our captains to react quicker for safer and more efficient assists.
The Crowley crew is also the best in the business. Take Mike Wilson. He joined Crowley 21 years ago, and now serves
as captain of one of our Harbor Class tugs. Mike and all Crowley crew members undergo a pre-voyage safety session
at the beginning of their two-week shifts, plus two on-board safety sessions and a fire and boat drill during each shift
cycle. You can’t find that kind of dedication and experience anywhere else.
