On 21 February 2017, Harbor Star’s M/V Rho Cas successfully completed the delivery of a barge carrying quay cranes to CaiMep, Vietnam from Oita, Japan. The towing engagement amounting to US$ 645,000 is Rho Cas’ first overseas job for 2017. The revenue generated is already equivalent to 50% of last year’s towing revenue. The 9,180 BHP M/V Rho Cas is the most powerful towing tug in the Philippines. Part of the funds generated from Harbor Star’s IPO in 2013 was used to purchase the vessel.
