Seaspan Marine has announced that they have taken delivery of the Seaspan Raptor, the first of two 24-metre LOA 75t+ bollard pull tugs from Sanmar Shipyards. These state-of-the-art tugs are escort rated and feature Class 1 Fire Fighting capability. The Seaspan Raptor was built in 2015 and initially operated by Sanmar in their own fleet. It has recently undergone a full docking and modifications to meet Seaspan and Canadian requirements and will sail to Vancouver with arrival expected in late November. The second tug, a sister vessel built in 2016, will be delivered to Seaspan in the spring of 2021.
