Husky Undergoes Refit
Island Shipping's twin screw, shallow draft, multipurpose tug, Husky has just undergone an extensive refit of her deck machinery. Having, earlier this year, completed 304 days, continuous 24/7 charter on Sheringham Shoal Offshore windfarm in Norfolk, the trusty tug was long overdue some new toys.
Husky's new split drum towing and anchor handling winch has a 17 tonne pull with a 30 tonne brake. Her new telescopic crane is capable of lifting 1.5 tonnes at max reach of 6 metres. The new deck machinery is rounded off with a quick release towing hook from Mampaey.
