Mini Tug : 45′
Bernardine C
In 2015, Curtin Maritime successfully completed its first ‘ground up’ vessel fabrication build, the Bernardine C. Constructed at the company’s shipyard in the Port of Long Beach, CA, this Tier III-compliant tugboat, affectionately nicknamed Bernie, boasts individually steerable Kort nozzles and a custom winch arrangement comprising of three Pullmaster hydraulic winches. Designed and built entirely in-house, this tug was conceptualized by Curtin engineers and crafted by the company’s shipyard crew. It immediately went into service, playing a crucial role in dredging Huntington Beach Harbor as the rig tender for the DB Ben Weston. The Bernardine’s unique design and layout make it invaluable across various workboat applications including rig tender, anchor handler, and assist boat. Additionally, its draft allows it to access harbors that are often inaccessible to most tugs.

Overview
In 2015 we completed our first ‘ground up’ build, the Bernardine C. Built here at our yard in Long Beach, CA. The tier 3 compliant Bernie’ went right to work dredging Huntington Harbor as the rig tender to the DB Ben Weston. Her unique design and layout provide the Bernardine value across all work-boat formats. Rig tender, anchor handler, assist boat, but with a draft that allows her in harbors most tugs cant enter, this little tug has all the attributes of a boat twice its size.
