History:
The USCGC Sycamore (WLB-209), commissioned in 2001, is part of the Juniper-class buoy tender fleet. This vessel serves along the U.S. East Coast, playing a vital role in maintaining navigational aids and supporting environmental protection and rescue operations.
Equipped with an ice-strengthened hull and Dynamic Positioning System, the Sycamore excels in performing precise operations, whether maintaining buoys, responding to maritime disasters, or participating in search-and-rescue efforts. Over its years of service, the Sycamore has helped ensure the safety of shipping lanes, conducted oil spill containment missions, and supported environmental response efforts, including marine debris removal.
As a reliable vessel in the Coast Guard’s fleet, the Sycamore has proven its worth in safeguarding the region’s waterways, protecting the environment, and supporting emergency operations in diverse conditions.
