A new build based on the US tugs building at Parkol Marine in Whitby ,been on going for a few years now and rumours are that £3m spent so far

Davie.
Why? US tugs sure look different to the ones we see around the UK, but they aren't any more efficient ...quite the reverse in my experience. You can get a lot more for your £3m......or just buy a used genuine one. BY.

It might look like a tug but is it intended to be used as one? Looking at the length of the deckhouse, I wonder if it is simply intended for cruising?

Thought as much http://www.parkol.co.uk/new_builds.html
It's just a lookie-likie and not a tug as such.

Barry,
You may well be right, m'lud.....But £3m?

Bryan,
I am right and the £3M is (according to Davie) a rumour. You are discharged with a caution. :P
