Recently Hodgdon Yachts took on construction of steel tugboat pilot house towers for neighboring shipyard Washburn and Doughty. These mammoth towers, too big to erect on the hull until after launch of the tug, are being constructed and outfitted with systems, electrical, electronics, joinery and final paint prior to lifting aboard the tug hull. This process, commonly referred to pre-outfit, assists Washburn and Doughty schedule requirements. After final paint the pilot house towers will erect, by means of a large mobile crane, to achieve completion work on the tug hull.
For Hodgdon Yachts the experience enables the high end custom yacht builder to accurately assess the effort required to build mega yachts out of steel and or aluminum and the type of teaming relationships that will be required.
