Edward J. Moran is a tugboat built in 2006 by Washburn and Doughty Associates, in the port of East Boothbay, Maine.[1] Built for the Moran Towing Corporation of New Canaan, Connecticut,[1][2] the tug was profiled in Popular Mechanics as "the world's most powerful tugboat."[3] The boat works out of Savannah, Georgia, and its tasks include escorting gas carriers transporting liquefied natural gas.[3] Among its capacities, it has powerful twin Z-drive propellers with which it "can go from 13 knots forward to 13 knots in reverse in 15 seconds",[3] and it has a 100-horsepower winch and two 900 horsepower water cannons for fighting fires.[3]
