Tugboat Construction
C&C Marine and Repair is expanding into the tugboat market with cutting-edge hybrid propulsion tugboats designed for harbor and ship docking operations. Our indoor construction capabilities and onsite engineering deliver the same quality and on-time performance that defines our towboat and dredge programs.
Tugboat Construction
Harbor & Ship Docking Tugboats
While towboats push barge fleets on inland rivers, tugboats assist large ships in harbors, ports, and coastal waters — maneuvering vessels into berths, escorting ships through channels, and providing emergency response.
C&C Marine and Repair is entering the tugboat market with a focus on advanced hybrid propulsion designs that combine diesel-mechanical power with electric motors for maximum operational flexibility and fuel efficiency.
Our proven track record building complex vessels — from 24,000 HP dredges to 11,000 HP towboats — gives us the engineering expertise and production capability to deliver tugboats that meet the most demanding harbor and ship docking requirements.
Featured Program
Hybrid Tugboats for Harbor Docking & Towing
C&C Marine is building 8 hybrid tugboats for Harbor Docking & Towing to the RApport 2800-H design by Robert Allan Ltd. — one of the world's leading tugboat naval architecture firms.
RApport 2800-H Hybrid Tugboats
These 8 hybrid tugboats for Harbor Docking & Towing represent C&C Marine's entry into the tugboat market. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd., the RApport 2800-H combines diesel-mechanical and electric propulsion with Kongsberg Z-drives for exceptional maneuverability and 88 metric tonnes of bollard pull.

Hybrid Propulsion
4 Operating Modes
The hybrid propulsion system provides operational flexibility across four distinct modes, optimizing power and fuel consumption for each mission profile.
Eco Mode
Electric-only propulsion for low-speed transit, standby, and harbor maneuvering with zero diesel emissions.
Hybrid Mode
Combined diesel and electric power for moderate ship-handling duties with optimized fuel efficiency.
Mechanical Mode
Full diesel power delivering maximum bollard pull for heavy ship docking and escort operations.
FiFi Mode
Fire-fighting configuration with dedicated power allocation for external fire-fighting monitors and pumps.
