The triple Z-Drive propulsion system allows for optimal speed, power and maneuverability. In addition, the Z-Drives operate at a lower engine load to boost fuel efficiency. Each of the towboat’s super structure is supported on a bed of springs for added crew comfort and a soft-core joiner system was installed in the accommodation spaces for added crew comfort and safety.
