MIKIOI FOSS
Built in 2004, by Foss Shipyard of Rainier, Oregon (hull #002), as the Mikioi for Hawaiian Tug and Barge of Honolulu, Hawaii.
A Dolphin Class tractor tug powered by two Caterpiller 3512 C HD Series II engines with stern mounted azimuthing Z Drives for a rated 5, 080 horsepower.
The tug's capacities are 10,000 gallons of fuel oil, 342 gallons of lube oil and 500 gallons of fresh water. Her towing gear consists of a Markey DEPGF-42 hawser winch mounted on her bow.
Hawaiin Tug and Barge was acquired by Foss Marine Holdings of Seattle, Washington in 2013 where the tug retained her name.
While its Seattle yard has repaired, repowered and retrofitted many tugs and other vessels, newbuilds were never part of the program. And while that continues to be the case in Seattle, Foss finally went ahead with a newbuild program at its other yard in Rainier, Ore., on the Columbia River
Formerly owned and operated by Brix Maritime, a Columbia River tug-and-barge operator that Foss purchased several years ago, the small yard had been doing repair work. But when Foss and its parent company, Marine Resources Group, decided to start building its own tugs, they chose its Rainier yard. The first tug, the Mikioi, was delivered in September 2004 to Hawaiian Tug & Barge, an MRG company in Honolulu.
The first of the Dolphin-class ASD tugs, the Mikioi was designed by Robert Allan Ltd., Vancouver, B.C., in collaboration with in-house naval architects Don Hogue and Gisli Olafsson at Foss. Completed ahead of schedule, the new tug was a success and MRG gave the green light to build more of the same for Foss Maritime in California. Notes by Bruce Buls
