Vessel Description

The Lincoln Sea is a US-flagged articulated tug operating under the management of Crowley Maritime Corporation, one of the largest marine transportation and logistics companies in the United States. Built in 2001 by Halter Marine, the vessel is configured as an azimuthing stern drive tug, providing enhanced maneuverability suitable for harbor assistance, coastal towing, and barge operations throughout the Caribbean Basin. The Z-drive propulsion system allows for omnidirectional thrust, making the vessel well suited for precision maneuvering in confined port environments as well as open-water towing assignments. Crowley has historically employed vessels of this class in support of its barge and logistics services operating between the US mainland and Puerto Rico.
