Vessel History

This over 67 m long ocean-going harbour tug with its super power is capable of towing e.g. large stranded ships and towing them over large distance.

16 thousand hp that power the vessel are provided by two Stork-Werkspoor TM-410 turbocharged Diesel engines. Overall control of this high-tech modern tug can be achieved from both the bridge and from the air-conditioned engine control room.
