BRITISH WATERWAYS - NARROW BEAM TUGS

bwnbtugpic13.jpg

The double chine, steel hulls have a length of 6.00 metres, a beam of 2.07 metres, and a depth of 2.57 metres.  The tugs are fitted with a modern propulsion system with a 39hp diesel engine with low noise / emissions and a hydraulic drive,  which were specified to meet all applicable environmental standards.

The tugs have an enclosed cabin capable of carrying three people and incorporates an elevating mechanism to enable the skipper to see over high loads. They have separate washing and toilet facility for the crew, with hot and cold water for hand washing. Also included is an onboard flushable toilet with a waste water and sewage storage tank

The vessel's dimensions enable the tug to turn within the width of a canal and push hopper barges from either end, alleviating the problem of having to turn around using 'winding holes'.

To aid mobilisation all craft must be of a common gauge and able to work anywhere on the waterways network.  A new latching system allowing the tugs and narrow hoppers to connect by remote control have been incorporated to be compatible with future wider craft.  Winches are provided for connection to older hoppers without a latching system.
