The Island Monarch is a proven off shore tug of
3000 horse power completely rebuilt by Island Tug in 1995. The Monarch is
primarily engaged in pushing and towing of Island Tug's large oil barge fleet.
With a 10,000 mile range, and large capable towing gear, the Monarch has proven
her capabilities in many ocean tows. In 2003, the Island Monarch under went a
conversion to an Articulated Pin system with advanced high lift rudders, and
upgrades for foreign going service. All of these modifications were made to
match the Monarch to the Island
Trader. The Monarch is already capable of both pushing and pulling. The pin
system will enable pushing in all ocean and weather conditions. The new rudders
are to enable the Monarch, with her relatively low horsepower, to turn the
Trader safely and quickly.
