IJmuiden, the Netherlands – Two Azistern 3270 tugs designed by Offshore Ship Designers (OSD) have been delivered to PACC Offshore Services Holdings Ltd. (POSH Singapore).  

ThePosh Husky and Posh Hardy were built at Paxocean Shipyard in Singapore. They are classed by Bureau Veritas, and fly the Singapore flag. The 488-gross tonnage vessels have a length overall of 31.62 m (103.74 ft), a bollard poll of 72 metric tons (79 tons), and a maximum speed of 13 knots. They can accommodate 10 crew members in six single and two twin-berth cabins.
