Information about Tugboat Warringa

Tugboat Warringa is a 41-ton bollard pull workhorse and one of the original vessels in the Ocean Logistics fleet. With two Mirrlees Blackstone main engines generating 2,500 HP and a top speed of 10.5 knots, Warringa delivers consistent power and reliability for long-distance
towing, harbor assist, and offshore logistics. 

She holds 82 tons of fuel and consumes approximately 260L per hour—making her well-suited for extended missions across the Pacific.

Over the years, Warringa has earned a reputation as one of the most dependable tugboats in Vanuatu, having logged thousands of nautical miles across the region. Her service record includes operations in Fiji, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, and even Norfolk Island. She has traditionally paired with Ocean Logistics’ 5,000-ton barge Bowen for transporting aggregate, heavy cargo, and construction materials for remote infrastructure projects.

Registered under the Vanuatu flag, Warringa remains a valued part of the fleet—versatile enough for both harbor and offshore operations, and proven across multiple Pacific island nations.
