Bay delta's newest tug chartered to Foss

摘要

Yet another in a long series of new tugboats was introduced by Baydelta Maritime, of San Francisco, in late 2010. The 6,800-hp ASD ship-assist tug Delta Lindsey was immediately sent out to charter with Foss Maritime. The 100-foot tug was built by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, of Whidbey Island, Wash., and delivered to Baydelta in September. Naval architecture was provided by Jensen Maritime Consultants, of Seattle. Like others in the series before her, Delta Lindsey is powered by Cat 3516C electronically controlled engines, each producing 3,400 hp at 1,800 rpm. The tug is rated at 94 tons of bollard pull.
