The twin-screw tugboat is powered by a pair of Mitsubishi Tier 3 S6R2-Y3 engines, each rated at 803 hp at 1,400 rpm. The selected engines match the vessel's operating profile and anticipated inland service requirements. Built at Halimar Shipyard, the Mr. Bryan is a mission-oriented workboat, with engine selection determined early in the project to meet operational and regulatory requirements.

Billy Hidalgo Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Halimar Shipyard, stated that for projects like this, reliable suppliers are critical, and Laborde Products consistently delivers, communicates clearly, and helps maintain the construction schedule—such reliability truly matters. From the owner's perspective, this new vessel reflects a focus on long-term fleet reliability and consistency. Laborde Products supported the project during construction through engine specifications and weekly visits.

Bradley Matte, Sales Representative at Laborde Products, noted that the S6R2 is one of the most common power packages on this waterway—simple and easy to understand, providing operators with a reliable setup they can confidently run.
