MULTRATUG-3 9537408

Towage and salvage service provider Multraship has bolstered its fleet of tugs and multi-purpose vessels with the addition of the Damen newbuilding ASD 3213 tug ‘Multratug 3’. On September 30, the vessel will embark on its delivery voyage from Vietnam, where it was built by Damen Shipyards, to Terneuzen, Multraship’s home port in The Netherlands. It will be employed principally in the River Scheldt area in a harbour towage and salvage role. With a maximum bollard pull of 94.7 tonnes, an overall length of 32.14 metres, and a beam of 13.29 metres, the vessel is capable of a speed of 14.3 knots. “Multraship’s commitment to the Scheldt area is well-known, and was further reinforced two years ago when it launched Antwerp Towage NV, a 50/50 joint venture with Fairplay Towage,” said Multraship managing director Leendert Mulle.
