Vessel Description

Laura K Moran is a twin-screw azimuthing stern drive (ASD) harbor tug operated by Moran Towing Corporation, one of the oldest and most established marine towing companies in the United States. Built in 2008 by Washburn & Doughty Associates in East Boothbay, Maine, the vessel is part of Moran's modern fleet of Z-drive tugs designed for high-performance ship assist and escort operations. The ASD configuration provides exceptional maneuverability, allowing the tug to exert pulling or pushing forces in virtually any direction without repositioning the vessel. Laura K Moran is well suited for operations in confined harbor environments and is deployed in support of commercial vessel movements at major port facilities along the US East and Gulf Coasts.
