“Delivery of the Laguna Gulf marks an important milestone for Sterling Shipyard and represents the first of an orderbook for three LNG projects along with nine other harbour tugboats, for a total of 13, contracted for delivery through 2029,” said Harry Murdock, CEO of Sterling Shipyard. “Sterling is proud to partner with Gulf LNG and its affiliated companies to deliver safe, capable, reliable, low-emission work horses to support operations at LNG terminals and ports across North America.”
With an overall length of 99 ft, a beam of 43 ft, 7000 hp, and a bollard pull capacity of more than 80 t, this tugboat is equipped with firefighting capabilities that meet ABS Fire Fighting Vessel 1 (FFV1) classification to further enhance safety measures during terminal support operations.
