Anglo-Eastern | Ship Visit: MV Boka Expedition

An #oceangoingtug may look small on the outside, but looks can be deceiving! Join us as we #tour the Anglo-Eastern managed MV #BokaExpedition and see what it's like on board a #tug, from the double bridge controls at top to the heavy-duty working deck and four powerful engines below. #shipvisit


ABOUT THE VESSEL

The Boskalis-owned Boka Expedition is a small (only 3,568 dwt) but mighty ocean-going tug, with immense towing power for its size as well as firefighting capabilites, making it suitable for not only #towing but also #anchorhandling and #salvageoperations.

The long-distance tug is fitted with four sturdy engines and various towing winches, wires, chains, pins and a shark jaw, as well as deck cranes to assist in operations. The vessel's bollard pull is an impressive 200 t, while its brake handling capacity is a whopping 400 t.
