Vessel Description

OSPREY is a American-flagged Z-drive harbor tug built in 2008 by Washburn & Doughty Associates in East Boothbay, Maine. The vessel is part of the Moran Towing Corporation fleet, one of the largest and oldest towing companies in the United States. As a Z-drive tug, OSPREY is equipped with azimuthing stern drive propulsion units, providing exceptional maneuverability for ship-assist and escort operations in confined port environments. The vessel is designed for harbor towing, ship-assist docking and undocking operations, and general marine towing services along the United States East Coast. The Z-drive configuration allows omnidirectional thrust capability, making her particularly effective in tight harbor conditions and alongside large commercial vessels.
