Kian Juan Dockyard in Miri, Sarawak, East Malaysia occupies 100 meters of river frontage on a 15-acre site in the Kuala Barm Industrial Estate. There is space for the fabrication of several vessels up to 80 meters and 2000 TDW at one time. In late March they had several vessels under construction including a pair of 29x9-meter tugs being built to a design by United Ship Design of Sibu. The full-bodied tugs have a double-chine design and a 4.26-meter molded depth.

Propulsions power is provided by a pair of Cummins KTA38 M2 engines producing 1200 hp each at 1800 RPM and turning nozzle-equipped 2x1.69-meter propellers through Twin Disc MG5301 gears with 5.947:1 ratios. Estimated bollard pull is 30 tons with a designed 11-knot light running speed. The 2400 hp boats are fitted with single drum towing winches with 600 meters of 48 m/m wire. Electrical power is provided by two Cummins 6BT-powered 80 Kw generator sets for each vessel.

Twin kort nozzles for the two meter propellers.

Accommodation is provided for 12 crewmembers. Tankage includes approximately 198 tonnes of fuel and 36 tonnes of fresh water. The tugs, named Modalwan 24168 and Modalwan 24169, will be delivered to a customer in Labuan, Sabah Malaysia.
