BMS Seatowage BV adds converted hybrid tug to fleet

Dutch towage contractor BMS Seatowage BV have a new addition to their fleet in the form of the hybrid tug conversion ‘Sil-Jeske-B’ built for Koedood BV by Shipyard Kooiman. Koedood supplied both the main and auxiliary engines and the electric motor/generator for the tug which has a bollard pull of 24 tons. Sil-Jeske-B has been completely rebuilt, including lengthening and widening, from an existing conventionally powered tug. In addition to the traditional mechanical diesel propulsion the tug is also equipped with electric motors driving the propellers. A combined diesel direct plus electric propulsion provides the maximum bollard pull for the vessel. - See more at: http://www.maritimejournal.com/news101/tugs,-towing-and-salvage/towlines-december-2015#sthash.CLaPagoA.dpuf
