ADVANCED ROTORTUG 80-32 SUMMARY :

The ROTORTUG® , type ART80-32 is a modern high performance tug specifically designed for harbour, terminal berthing operations and escorting duties. The patented Rotortug® propulsion configuration consists of three diesel driven azimuthing thrusters of which two units are placed in the fore ship and one unit is placed in the aft ship. Thanks to this propulsion configuration the tug features extremely high manoeuvrability and enables safe towing and pushing over the bow, the stern, sideways and safe escort towing. The special towing mode, called 'Rotoring' is very useful during mooring of large vessels in full pull operations.

Thanks to the three propulsion units the vessel has an unequalled redundancy. If one unit fails, the vessel is able to safely finishing the ship assistance at reduced (60%) power also limiting downtime during maintenance overhauls. Moreover the vessel is equipped with two towing winches, one on the fore deck and one on the aft deck. At failure of the towing line during operation, it is possible to immediately establish a new connection from the second winch. Refer to the Technical Specification for additional accessories.
