The Ocean class tugs were a series of four large, general purpose ocean-going tugboats built by Bollinger shipyards of Louisiana for Crowley Marine.[1][2][3]

The Ocean Wave was delivered in September 2012.[1] The next vessel will be named the Ocean Wind. The two remaining vessels will be slightly larger, and will be named the Ocean Sun and the Ocean Sky.

The vessels will be capable of salvaging vessels at sea; firefighting; regular towing; and anchor handling of off-shore oil platforms.[3]
