ALEXANDRA

Today we have a 'golden oldie' as the SOTD. It is the, in 1963 built, tug Alexandra (IMO: 5418630, flag: United Kingdom). The Alexandra is with its gross tonnage of 164 only small amongst all the large ships on this page, but since it's 43 years old, it is worth mentioning that it has arrived last night at the Waalhaven, Rotterdam. The tug is still in service, owned by Niarcos Shipping, Rochester, UK and managed by G.P.S. Marine Contractors. It is 28 meters long, 7.6 meters wide and has a maximum BHP of 1066. The following towing gear is available:

  • 2 x 220M x 64MM Nutech polyprop ropes
