Powered by a Yanmar diesel coupled to a controllable pitch propeller gives the craft excellent manoeuvrability and control to operate as a tug boat, rescue boat or workboat. She is also fitted with a single point lifting davit enabling delivery and recovery from a mother vessel.

This new project is an exciting opportunity for Yachtport SA to demonstrate its capability and continued support to the maritime industry by returning this vessel to full working condition for offshore service.

M/V Gracey has recently been moved to Yachtport SA’s facility in the Port of Saldanha and is already receiving much-needed attention. Her engine, gearbox, propulsion shaft and CPP have been removed for repair. The tank, bilges and engine bay are already cleaned while the rugged GRP hull is being prepared for coating.
