Damen Delivers First Hybrid Tug

Iskes Towage & Salvage took delivery of the Bernardus, the first Damen ASD 2810 Hybrid. The delivery represents a turning point for the tug industry as operators and port authorities demand innovative solutions to rising fuel costs and stricter emissions regulations. Damen’s extensive research into hybrid tug technology has culminated in the Bernardus – Iskes’ new ASD 2810 Hybrid. By combining diesel-direct, diesel-electric propulsion and battery power the vessel can achieve average fuel savings of up to 30% and up to 40% reduction of emissions. Being green, however, does not mean sacrificing power – the Bernardus still has a bollard pull of 60 tonnes.
