TOWLINES
Sinbad Marine Services of Killybegs in Ireland has purchased the Voith tractor tug Carron from the Svitzer fleet in Belfast. Two tugs of the same age, size and horsepower were reported sold in earlier Tugs & Towing reports. Carron was originally built in 1979 for use at the Grangemouth Docks and its associated oil installations. The tug is fully equipped for fire fighting but in most other respects similar to the recently sold Holmgarth and Hallgarth, with engines of 2,190bhp and a 25 ton bollard pull. Now named ‘ Carron Sinbad’ , the tug will provide port services in Killybegs and since being purchased has already carried out several contracts for its new owners.
