Rowley Morgan Pusher Tug and Barges
This project comprised of the design of a 20m Pusher
Tug, coupled to one or two 45m barges for the transport of +/- 600
tonnes of timber/lumber per barge, up and down the Zaire River. Although
the tugs were never built due to the untimely passing of Mr Morgan,
many of the barges had already been constructed.
A well developed design and full specification of
the tug remains on file, and can be used as basis for the design of
a similar set of tugs and barges, or finalized as a ready design for
the same application.
The operational critiera called for a very low draft,
namely 1.6m, thus the tug design utilizes the twin screw, tunnel thruster
concept.
