Damen Delivers First Hybrid Tug

Iskes Towage & Salvage took delivery of the Bernardus, the first Damen ASD 2810 Hybrid.

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.
