Workboat Ireland launches

The shipyard has produced a large number of tugs of this type, based on a very successful design from Robert Allan Ltd. Over the years the original design has been refined in the light of experience gained locally and through other operators also using vessels built by Irving. In this instance the tugs are required to meet the requirements of Lloyds Register Ice Class 1A FS for operation in Scandinavian waters.Strong interest in the Workboat Ireland show, which makes its debut at the Trident Hotel in Kinsale, Co. Cork on 3 – 4 October, has seen many of Ireland’s leading boat builders and others from across Europe booking to participate. Sponsored by marine insurance brokers MCM Insurance Brokers Ltd, Workboat Ireland is being hosted by the same experienced team which established the Irish Skipper Expo four years ago.
