MORAN Tugboat

One of the oldest companies in America, Moran has survived and prospered by continuously reinventing itself for over 160 years. Starting off in 1860 as a tugboat company.

A Moran tugboat refers to a tugboat operated by the Moran Towing Corporation, a company specializing in marine towing and transportation services, known for its large fleet of tugboats servicing various ports and LNG terminals. Moran Towing Corporation has a long history dating back to the 1860s, with its founder being Michael Moran.

The Heide Moran was built in 1975 by McDermott Shipyard of Morgan City, Louisiana for the Moran Towing Corporation of New York, New York.
Powered by two, twelve cylinder, EMD 12-645-E5 diesel engines. She is a twin screw tug, rated at 4,300 horsepower. Her electrical service is provided by two 75kW generator sets. The tug's capacities are 107,518 gallons of fuel

This 36" long model was built for a sailor who worked on the tug when it was launched. Thus the model looks a little different than the modern Heide Moran. We are the only model ship company who can create beautiful, realistic lighting feature that is powered by standard batteries for your convenience.

"Thank you so very much for such a fantastic job you have made for me of Heide Moran.
The colors are exact, the model is magnificent in every way. The lights are a nice
extra touch as well, as is the US flag. By the way the wooden base is smart in
itself.  I am considering another job for you, but all I have are some pictures of the tug, I
am trying to get more from all angles. Once again, thanks for a superb model.Best regards, Brian"
