This report assesses and describes the current worldwide best practices being used in the design and operation of highly capable rescue tugboats.
Using this information, the contractor developed a description of best available technology in way of rescue tugs, identified a towing vessel in the worldwide fleet that represents best available technology (BAT) for service at Hinchinbrook Entrance, and compared that vessel to Ross Chouest, the current Utility/Sentinel Tug serving Hinchinbrook Entrance.
