Tractors Singapore Celebrates Penguin'S 100th Newbuild Powered by Cat® C32
On 15 January 2024, Tractors Singapore’s marine customer Penguin International Limited (Penguin) delivered their 100th newbuild vessel powered by Cat® C32 ACERT main propulsion engines and Cat C4.4 auxiliary generators.
Christened PELICAN BREEZE, this milestone vessel is a 40m aluminium multi-role FLEX-40SC MAX crewboat. Penguin's FLEX series of crewboats are well known in the offshore and maritime security industries for their speed, comfort and endurance.
"Back in 2014, almost two decades after we built our first ship, we took our first step with Caterpillar and Tractors Singapore with our first Cat C32-powered vessel, which was only our 95th newbuild at the time," said Penguin's Managing Director, Mr James Tham. "Today, just one decade later, we are celebrating the delivery of Penguin's 100th newbuild powered by Cat C32 main engines."
"This milestone is as much a testimony to the quality and reliability of Caterpillar's products as it is an endorsement of Caterpillar and the authorised Cat dealer for Singapore, Tractors Singapore, as a purveyor of world-class customer service," Mr Tham said.
Commenting at the milestone event, Mr Alan Ow, Managing Director of Tractors Singapore Limited, said, "Congratulations to Penguin on this milestone, which also attests to the growing market demand for your world-class vessels. We value your continued trust in Tractors Singapore through the years, and we look forward to more collaborations as we strive towards a more sustainable world.”
Together with Cat Marine, we are honoured to be a part of this celebratory milestone and Penguin’s growth journey, and we look forward to powering our relationship to ever greater heights.
The Pelician Breeze is powered by by Cat® C32 ACERT main propulsion engines and Cat C4.4 auxiliary generators.
