Tugboat of the Year 2013

Tugboat of the Year

Thoughtful Design

How did we cre­ate the Tug­boat of the Year? By build­ing a trac­tor tug that is as agile and durable as it is pow­er­ful and tech­no­log­i­cal­ly advanced. By bench­mark­ing the world’s best work­boats and aim­ing even higher.

Every fea­ture of the Great Lakes Ship­yard Jensen Series 92 ASD Trac­tor Tug is thought­ful­ly designed to pro­vide your crew with best-in-class per­for­mance and capa­bil­i­ties, with added con­fi­dence and maneu­ver­abil­i­ty, to meet any ship assist or escort requirements.
