Cory Towage Adds Coastal, FiFi Tugs Cory Towage Ltd. has expanded its coastal towage capability with the introduction of the dedicated coastal tug Battleaxe. At 121 ft. (37 m) long, 3,800 bhp Battleaxe provides 54 tons bollard pull. The vessel has twin screw controllable pitch propellers encased in independent Kort nozzles for improved bollard pull and features a deepsea towing winch and three fire-fighting monitors to aid in coastal work. Battleaxe will be available for pro- jects throughout Europe. She is designed for a variety of work from barge handling or buoy loading in the North Sea to construction projects and the towing of dead vessels. Previously named Elsie, the tug was until recently operating in the Central American region and was initially purchased from associate company Shetland Towage in 1996 to operate in Panama. Cory Towage has added to its Mersey fleet with the arrival from Japan of the 48-ton bollard pull stern drive tug Ashgarth. The vessel is the renamed and recently mod- ified 3,600 bhp azimuthing stern drive FiFi tug Senho Maru. Circle 8 on Reader Service Card \ Cory's t Battleaxe ipjjp*""^ : w A "'it, g.
