As with other yards in Sibu, Rajang Maju has filled it large building space with tugs under construction. Often orders come in twos, threes and more. Currently the yard is finishing up a nice looking pair of 23.5-meter (77.1-foot) boats that are named Capricorn 26 and 28. The handy sized tugs have a 7.315-meter (24-foot) moulded beam and a 3.048-meter (10-foot) moulded depth. As is common with Malaysian-built boats there is ample accommodation, in this case for ten crewmembers. Tankage includes provision for 82-tons of fuel oil and 30 tons of fresh water.

Main engines are a pair of Cummins KTA19-M3 each delivering 600 hp to Reintjes 6.048:1 gears. The boats’ are classed by NK for international navigation.
