Tug production at Rajang Maju Shipbuilding

Rajang Maju in Malaysia has filled its large building space with tugs under construction.

Currently the yard is finishing up a nice looking pair of 23.5-metre boats named ‘Capricorn 26' and ‘Capricorn 28'. The handy sized tugs have a 7.315-metre moulded beam and a 3.048-metre moulded depth. As is common with Malaysian-built boats there is ample accommodation, in this case for ten crewmembers. Tankage includes provision for 82-tonnes of fuel oil and 30 tonnes of fresh water. Main engines are a pair of Cummins KTA19-M3s, each delivering 445kW to Reintjes 6.048:1 gears. The boats are classed by NK for international navigation.
