Vessel Description

West Ocean 8 is a small harbor and coastal tug operating under the Philippine flag, owned and operated by West Ocean Tugs and Barges Corporation. Built in the United States in 1974, the vessel has been in operational service for several decades and is primarily engaged in harbor assistance, towing, and barge-handling operations within Philippine territorial waters. Given her tonnage and power output, she is suited for near-coastal and port towing duties rather than deep-sea ocean towing assignments.
