M/V A. Thomas Higgins on bollard pull trial

Eastern Shipbuilding Group Inc., Panama City, Fla., recently delivered the M/V A. Thomas Higgins, the second of two 80-foot 5,100 HP Z-drive tugs, to Bisso Offshore LLC, a division of E.N. Bisso & Son Inc. of New Orleans La.

The day after delivery, the vessel completed its bollard pull testing witnessed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and received its USCG Sub-M Certificate of Inspection (COI). The vessel is a RAL RApport 2400 Z-Drive ship-handling tug built to a Robert Allan Ltd. design. Its sister vessel, the M/V C.D.
