The HAI KUN, a Robert Allan Ltd. designed RAstar 3200-CL tug built by Cheoy Lee Shipyards was successfully delivered to Yiu Lian Dockyards Ltd., Hong Kong on July 15, 2020. The first half of a two vessel contract, the HAI KUN completed her sea trials with flying colours, achieving 88 tonnes bollard pull and a speed of 13.5 knots at 100% engine MCR.
This delivery marks the 21st vessel built and delivered by Cheoy Lee of the very successful RAstar 3200-CL design. Unique modifications were implemented to this hull to accommodate both the owner’s selected Niigata propulsion package and the required escort capability of the tug. This included a re-design of the skeg and simulations using our in-house computational fluid dynamics capability to confirm the tug’s expected escort performance. Other modifications to accommodation layout, etc. were also made to suit the owner’s preferences.
The HAI KUN will be joined by her sister the HAI PENG in August 2020.
