New tug for the Shetland Islands Council harbour operation at Sellaness

A new tug for the Shetland Islands Council harbour operation at Sellaness was making her way up the east coast of Scotland this afternoon. The 32m long, two-year-old, MULTRATUG 29 is being “bare boat” chartered as part of the council’s tug fleet renewal project, and will replace the TIRRICK which is being sold to Greek buyers. MULTRATUG 29 is on charter to Shetland Islands Council. MULTRATUG 29 has been operated by Multraship as part of its fleet in the busy ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam and Terneuzen in Holland. The Damen 3212 class vessel is said by the council to be a very well tried and proven design. She has a 12m beam and a bollard pull of over 70 tonnes and was built in Vietnam.

New Multraship’s Damen ASD tugs named

Two Damen ASD 3212 tugs for leading towage and salvage specialist Multraship have been named on 24 June at Terneuzen, the Netherlands. The state-of-the-art Multratug 29 and Multratug 30 were built at the Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam, and operate for Multraship as sister vessels to Multratug 19. The 32 m tugs, which have a bollard pull of 82 tonnes, are notable for their excellent sea-keeping behaviour, superb manoeuvrability and outstanding towing characteristics. The Multratug 29 and Multratug 30 were named respectively by Mrs Rita de Ruijter- Ribbens and Mrs Els Otten- Muller. Source: Damen Shipyards
