- Photos of both the port tugs are included on the “Port
Vessels” page but I think these two sturdy workhorses deserve a page of their own. So here you are!
- Photos of both the port tugs are included on the “Port
- Both tugs were built in the year 2000 by the PO SevMash Predpriyatiye shipyard in Severodvinsk, Russia. They were completed by Damen
Shipyards at Gorinchem in the Netherlands. They have a draught of 4 metres, gross tonnage of 304 tonnes and are capable of a bollard pull of up to 55 tonnes. They each have two main engines which are
Wartsila 4tew 6 cylinder 6L26 units giving a total output of some 3600 kW at 1000 rpm. To you and I that gives them a speed of 13.5 knots! Propulsion is delivered by twin Aquamaster Azimuth Stern
Drive ASD 3110 Z drive units. - They are kept busy around the port assisting cruise and cargo vessels during arrival and departure and during severe
weather they are often tasked to berth the frequent ferry arrivals from the continent. - Here then, are some images of them in action.
- Many thanks to the crews for their assistance in producing this page and obligingly posing these impressive craft for the
camera! - Cheers Guys!
