Turkey's Sanmar yard shipped the Line-handler M/T BRAGE to north

Sanmar Marine’s modern, custom built yard in Turkey has completed the construction of a new design of RAscal class, the 1500, for Norwegian owner operator, Buksér og Berging AS. This compact class of tug is a series of high-performance but relatively straight forward smaller tugs, all less than 24m in length. Brage, as this first vessel is named, measures.14.95m x 8.3m and is designed and built to ABS class. Propulsion power is provided by two 350kW Caterpillar C18 main engines, each driving a type VZ-550 FP, 1250mm diameter, azimuthing thruster from the Dutch manufacturer Veth. This arrangement gives the vessel a bollard pull of 13 tonnes and a maximum free-running speed of 10 knots. Auxiliary power is also by Caterpillar with a pair of C4.4 generator sets, each of 86kW.
