Vessel Description

MIKIONA is an ocean-class tug operated by Foss Maritime, built in 2008 at Horizon Shipbuilding in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. She is configured as an azimuth stern drive tug, providing high maneuverability suited for ship assist, harbor, and coastal towing operations. The vessel operates primarily along the United States West Coast and within Puget Sound, supporting Foss Maritime's extensive towing and marine transportation network. As a Z-drive tug, MIKIONA is capable of omnidirectional thrust, making her well suited for precision shiphandling in confined port environments.
