<strong>Harley</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> Commences Upgrades to Ice Class Tractor Tugs August Birthdays<br />
On Monday, August 27 th , <strong>Harley</strong> <strong>Marine</strong><br />
<strong>Services</strong> initiated the first of three<br />
machinery upgrades to the San<br />
Francisco based ABS Ice Classed Tractor<br />
Tugs, Z-Three, Z-Four and Z-Five.<br />
With the tug Z-Three being the first<br />
vessel to undergo the transition, all three<br />
vessels will be upgraded with complete<br />
overhauls of their Caterpillar 3516B<br />
main engines bringing the vessels to Tier 2 Compliance.<br />
The Z-Boats were built in 1999 by Marco Shipyard in Seattle, WA. Each vessel produces 4,000 BHP and<br />
have been operating in California since 2004 when <strong>Harley</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> <strong>Services</strong> purchased the tugs from an<br />
operation in Hawaii. All three vessels are engaged in the Tanker Escort and Ship Assist Business and are<br />
enrolled in the State of California’s Escort Tug Inspection Program.<br />
<strong>Harley</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> continues to support our environmental programs by exceeding Federal and State Emission<br />
Regulations. The projects will be led by Starlight <strong>Marine</strong>’s Port Engineer, Tom Larsen. All three projects<br />
will be complete by December 31, 2012.<br />
