WORKBOATS AND TUGS
Completion of 2 x 14m Workboats by Cheoy Lee Shipyard
In late 2017 Macduff Ship Design was commissioned by Cheoy Lee shipyards to produce a new design to fit into their existing vessel range. The design brief was for a small workboat with capacity for simple modification so that it could be tailored to specific owner requirements. The first two vessels have now been completed as stock vessels and following successful sea trials are now available for sale.
The design for the first vessels is kept simple, allowing for them to complete multiple roles as a general workboat within many industries. The conventional layout with a forward wheelhouse and large open deck is complemented with the fitting of a tow post and 10 T SWL tow hook.
The design was however completed to allow for future vessels to have significant variation. The main optional changes that can be incorporated are the potential of an addition focsle deck to give higher forward freeboard
