Kongsberg Maritime has launched a new electric towing winch for the tug market, featuring a frequency converter-driven motor for enhanced efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Designed for harbor applications, it offers customizable pulling forces, smooth speed control, and robust components, while integrating seamlessly with Kongsberg’s Aquapilot system for improved operational management.
Dutch shipbuilder Damen has teamed up with Yeoman Marine Services Pvt Ltd to build tugboats in India, challenging Vancouver’s Robert Allan Ltd. Concerns arise over the government’s favoritism towards Robert Allan. Damen will offer design expertise while Yeoman Marine will utilize modern techniques for construction.
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.
