No, that's the result of a lot of design work in Norway. (Wasn't it
Ulstein?) It's called the "X-bow".

My company just finished 2 for Groupe Bourbon too...

Yelp, I have a friend that talked Bourbon into fronting him 125
million to build 3 deep water PSV's for the gulf of Mexico. I like the
x bow, but it's not a new concept.. A company called bo-truk did it in
the 1960's in the Gulf of Mexico.

Norway's sailors get screwed on the wage side. We worked with some
Norway boats and the crews were earning about 1/4 of what American
crews were making.

BTW both are great looking tugs. I like the lugger and stern set-ups.
Do they have pop up gear in the deck? The dispersent booms are new to
me too. We use to just sit drums on deck and knock holes in them with
fire axes and run back and forth through the spill.

I wasn't PM on those tugs so I know very little about them. Without
going back and looking I would be willing to be pop up stern towing
pins and shark jaws would be typical.

We're doing more and more tugs with "occasional oil recovery" duties.
