Tugboats Bintang Mutiara XXI & Bintang Mutiara XXII Launched!

The twins have graduated on 7th of February and are on their ways to pick up their barge partners, USJ IV and USJ V at Rengat, which are due to be launched within next week.

Just like the previous series, the Tugboats featured an agile control and power that allows the Tugboats to go from a top speed of 14 knots to zero within twice its length.

The Tugboats retain their Japanese Quality Blueprint standard, in addition to new features such as better control and stronger winch. 

the winch can generate 100 hp -- enough to pull the Tugboat astern even when the engine is full forward.
