Astilleros to build two Voith tractors tugs for DPA

Astilleros Zamakona Pasaia has won the contract to build two Voith tractor tugs for the Dublin Port Authority (Ireland).


The tugs are fitted with a Fi Fi system and are configured to ensure they are environmentally friendly. The tugs will therefore have a low gas emission system, ecological paint, waste and sanitary systems, with special treatment when unloading, and their cutting edge engines include low consumption systems for conventional fuel and Biodiesel. These two new tugs will be operating in the Port of Dublin. Immersed in a restructuring process involving large investments, the shipyard is currently building eight tugs of various types, and has refitted out vessels such as the ‘Elai Alai' tuna fishing boat, and carried out the maintenance of other vessels as important as the ‘Juan De La Cosa' hospital ship.
