The Czechoslovakian government Gotwald Shipyard build 4 tugs for the CDSP according to a CIA report dated 6 October 1953

An item reported that the Czechoslovakian government Gotwald Shipyard at Komarno, Czechoslovakia [nowadays Slovakia] built 4 welded tugs for the Czechoslovak Danube Navigation Company (CSDP) each with a capacity of 100 railroads carloads. The tugs were however not well built while on short notice cracks could be seen in the hulls and lacking a sufficient number of iron stays needed for the reinforcement. The tugs were now used for light cargo transport over short distances.
