New Tug for Schramm Group at Brunsbüttel
The Schramm Group at Brunsbüttel is a diversified maritime company, and towing services are part of their business, specifically tug assistance on the Kiel Canal which has been a growing business due to an increasing number of towages of Casco’s and barges. Their fleet of tugs has now been extended by Felix, a tug built in 1988 as Lady Sybil by Cochrane Shipbuilders in Goole. The tug already served for German Fairplay group as Fairplay X from 1999 to 2007, but returned to Britain as MTS Vengeance for Marine & Towing Services Group in Falmouth. Due to more favourable legal conditions in the Netherlands, the tug is registered with the Dutch subsidiary Sleepdienst H. Schramm BV in Harlingen, and the traditional Schramm funnel mark has been modified to include the Dutch flag.
