Completed Projects

ATLANTIC IV Class AT/B Tug PATI R. MORAN & Sisters

2006-2008

The PATI R. MORAN and her sisters, built at Washburn & Doughty Shipyard, in Boothbay, Maine, are 5100 HP AT/B tugs equipped with the Intercon "C" coupler. Designed to fit the same barge notches as the OT&BE engineered coupler refits on the BARNEY and SCOTT TURECAMO, the ATLANTIC IV class tugs represent a slightly smaller design than the ATLANTIC III, fitted with a full forecastle to create more room, and maintains the efficient single chine hull design of the III, with a slightly narrower beam of 36’.

ATLANTIC III Class AT/B Tugboat CHRISTIANA for Vane Line Bunkering

Vanne CHRISTIANA

2007

The CHRISTIANA and her sister, BRANDYWINE, both built at Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin, represent the second owner of this class tug as well as the second and third versions built.  The tug's hull design was conceived to make it easier to build than her larger ATLANTIC II class sisters, yet at 38' beam, the tug can handle as much as 8,000 RPM.

COSTWISE Class AT/B for Interorient Navigation

2005

Provided full contract and detail design for the new COSTWISE CLASS 12000 BHP AT/B tugs for Interorient Maritime/Caspian Maritime to be built in the Caspian Region, and full FEA study of tug structure surrounding Articouple system. Also providing full contract design for the companion 450,000 BBL capacity crude oil shuttle barges, designed in association with CT Marine.

ATLANTIC III Class AT/B CAPT. HAGEN/KEY WEST

Tugboat CAPT. HAGEN

2004

Named for long time Penn Maritime employee Hans Hagen, the CAPT. HAGEN is paired with the double-hulled ocean tank barge KEY WEST.  Both were built at Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

SEAWAY Class AT/B Tug DOROTHY ANN

2002

The DOROTHY ANN is a 125’, 7,200 BHP AT/B tug built for Interlake Transportation of Cleveland. She works with a former laker, converted to a self-unloading bulk barge, the PATHFINDER (ex-Mauthe).

ATLANTIC II Class AT/B Tug SEAHAWK

Atlantic II Seahawk

The SEAHAWK is an 8,000 BHP AT/B tug built for Allied Transportation of Norfolk, VA. She works with a specially-designed 120,000 BBL chemical barge, the ATC 21. Both tug and barge were built at Alabama Shipyard.

ATLANTIC II Class AT/B Tug CHRISTIAN REINAUER

Christian Reinauer

2001

The CHRISTIAN REINAUER is paired with the double-hulled ocean tank barge RTC 145, built by Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, AL.  The combination operates along the U.S. East Coast moving clean petroleum products. 

ATLANTIC II Class AT/B Tug NICOLE REINAUER

1999

The NICOLE LEIGH REINAUER is paired with the double-hulled ocean tank barge RTC 135, built by Alabama Shipyard, Inc. of Mobile, AL. The combination operates along the US East Coast, moving clean petroleum products. During the winter of 2000/2001, the NICOLE and her near sister, the S/R EVERETT, almost singlehandedly kept Rhode Island stocked with heating oil and gasoline.

ATLANTIC II Class AT/B Tug LINCOLN SEA (ex-S/R EVERETT)

S/R EVERETT
