CCGS Bartlett

CCGS Bartlett[note 1] is a Provo Wallis-class buoy tender in operation by the Canadian Coast Guard.

Bartlett is a member of the Provo Wallis-class buoy tenders, and is tasked with monitoring navigational aids along the West Coast of Canada.

Her twin vessel, CCGS Provo Wallis is now markedly different after undergoing a refit in 1990 that saw her hull lengthened by 6 metres (20 ft) as well as improved equipment and accommodation.

The vessel can carry 213.10 m3 (46,880 imp gal) of diesel fuel and has a range of 3,300 nautical miles (6,112 km) at a cruising speed of 11 knots (20 km/h).
