River Tug Alfie
Alfie is a beaver-style tug with a large open rear deck and a towing post. Ideal as a workboat, small tug, filming platform, camera boat or safety boat on the River Thames in London and connected waterways.
New to the Livett’s Group in 2010, she underwent a full refit bringing her up to the high standards of the other boats in the Livett’s fleet. Alfie was been fitted with a pusher bow and had rubber fendering fitted all the way around the hull. Alfie’s main cabin comprises the steering position and access to the engine room and forward cabin. The forward cabin has been fitted out with a WC and areas for storage.
Alfie has been used as a safety boat on a number of projects for both filming and marine civil engineering, including: launch of the new Jaguar XE - Emeli Sande concert on a floating stage; Hammersmith Bridge maintenance; Blackfriars Railway Bridge maintenance; and Battersea Power Station aggregate removal.
Alfie is seen above dressed overall with a film or TV cameraman on the rear deck at the start of the 2012 Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. The crowds in the foreground are lining the South Bank of the river in front of the National Theatre.
Alfie is 10.8m long, with a beam of 4m and draught of 0.82m. The 17-tonne vessel has a top speed of 8 kt and can carry a maximum of six people.
