M/V Lil Compass

Next Generation Logistics

Our Fleet

A small tugboat named M/V Lil Compass glides through calm, deep blue water under a clear sky. The vessel features a white and mustard-yellow superstructure with black railings, rubber bumpers along the hull, and a bright orange life ring mounted on the side, with a backdrop of leafless trees and green shoreline vegetation.

The M/V Lil Compass (formerly known as M/V Lil Weasel) is a 40-foot steel-hulled lugger tug with an aluminum superstructure, powered by twin John Deere engines, featuring specialized towing equipment, and was rebuilt in 2018. It operates under Next Generation Logistics, certified by the US Coast Guard, and offers comfortable accommodations for two crew members.
