TUGBOATS
Crowley’s Invader Class tugs are known for their versatility, maneuverability and towing capability.
Operating in nearly every ocean of the world, these twin-screw tugs are outfitted with two turbo-
charged, 20-cylinder diesel engines coupled to heavy-duty 5 blade, 132” diameter stainless steel
propellers. Triple rudders provide extraordinary close quarters maneuverability and ample steering
power to handle large and heavy tows.
Each Invader Class tug is outfitted with a diesel drive, double-drum towing winch for single or
tandem towing. The winches are equipped with 2,800 feet of 2.25” towing wire on each drum. Due
to their hull lines, deep draft, low center of gravity and excellent sea keeping ability these tugs can
achieve higher towing speeds than other tugs in this size category.
Invader Class tugs are well suited for all types of ocean towing, including emergency response and
towing of disabled vessels. Additionally, all company tugs are fully instrumented, with pilothouse-
controlled engine rooms, and are equipped with the latest in navigational and communications
technology.
