Vessel Description

The Jack T Moran is a modern American harbor tugboat operated by Moran Towing Corporation, one of the oldest and most established marine towing companies in the United States. Built in 2017 by Washburn & Doughty Associates in East Boothbay, Maine, the vessel represents a modern Z-Drive (azimuth drive) tug design, offering superior maneuverability compared to conventional tug configurations.

As a Z-Drive harbor tug, the Jack T Moran is designed primarily for ship assist operations, providing berthing and unberthing services to large commercial vessels such as container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers. The azimuthing drive system allows the tug to apply thrust in virtually any direction without reorienting the vessel, making it highly effective in confined harbor environments.

The vessel is named in keeping with Moran Towing's long-standing tradition of naming vessels after members of the Moran family, which has helmed the company across multiple generations. Moran Towing maintains a fleet of similar modern Z-Drive tugs deployed at key U.S. ports.
