The maritime industry is grappling with evolving fire hazards, particularly from lithium battery fires and automated systems. A recent incident with a container ship highlighted gaps in traditional firefighting training. As vessels shift towards electric propulsion, fire safety protocols must adapt, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive training and updated response protocols.
MED MARINE recently unveiled the MED-A2575 tugboat, constructed at Ereğli Shipyard for SVS MARITIME, a part of the VERNICOS SCAFI GROUP. Launched on August 5, 2024, this tugboat exemplifies MED MARINE’s dedication to top-notch quality in the maritime sector.
Med Marine proudly delivers the MED-A2570 tug to SEAGATE, meeting harbor operation demands. Named “CAPTAIN DIMITRIS IV,” the 25m tug features a 70-ton bollard pull capacity, firefighting capabilities, and forward/aft winches. Business Development Director, Ms. Ucuncu, celebrates SEAGATE’s choice, showcasing MED MARINE’s quality and production capacity. With impressive specs and a dedicated crew, this tug sets a new standard in efficiency.
