  our fleet  
 
         
Cargo Vessel:      
  4400 DWT Cargo Vessel – Comes with Derricks which allows proprietary cargo discharge. In other words, cranes may not be needed when cargo is discharged (depending on cargo handling requirements). It has hatch covers which prevents cargo from being in direct contact with sunlight and rain.

Our Tug & Barge fleet consists of the following horsepower and sizes: -      
       
Towing Tug:      
 
  • 1200 BHP tug – Suitable for towing a barge. Past experiences includes towing a barge for project cargo and bulk cargoes, towing a ship whose engines are faulty to safety and handling short distances shipments.
  • 2060 BHP tug – Capable of towing a 10,000DWT barge. This enables charterers to save costs due to economies of scale. This is because the tug and barge pair is cheaper to run compared to a Cargo Vessel.

Harbour Tug:      
 
  • 2200 BHP tug – Equipment includes towing & anchor handling equipment together with a Twin Screw Voith Schneider propeller. This tug can maneuver itself easily which makes it very suitable for harbour jobs. Applications include anchor handling and pushing vessels alongside.
  • 3210 BHP tug – Equipment includes fire fighting and electric windlass with an Aquamaster propulsion system. Like the Voith Schneider, this tug can handle harbour jobs and can also act as a towing tug if the need arises.
     
         
Barges:      
 
  • 220 feet – Allows DWT of approximately 3200MT. Applications include bulk cargoes such as cement, clinker, sulphur, steel plates/billets and sand.
  • 230 feet – Its DWT capacity is higher than the 220 feet, which is approximately 3700MT. Applications are similar to the 220 feet.
  • 250 feet – DWT capacity is approximately 5000MT. Applications are similar to the 220 and 230 feet barges. In addition, it possesses a rampdoor which allows vehicles/machineries to roll on/off the barge for ease of loading/discharging.
  • 330 feet – This barge is capable of having up to 10,000MT of DWT. It comes with a hydraulic hatch cover which protects cargo from rain and sun. In addition, it has a strong ramp door which is motor operated and allows machineries of up to 3 meters wide to enter the barge to load/unload or to move cargoes in it. Applications such as that of the 220, 230 and 250 feet barges are included and in addition, it can also carry water and light sensitive cargoes such as the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI). Because of that, the barge is capable of competing directly with Cargo Vessels and can enter waters that Cargo Vessels would find too shallow.
  • 154 feet Cargo Pontoon Barge – Allows up to 100 containers to be carried at any one time. Comes with a 40 ton crane which allows it to load and discharge containers.
