Dutch company Multraship has taken delivery of a new multi-purpose Azimuth Stern Drive tug, ‘Multratug 17', from the Vega Shipyard in Bandirma, Turkey.
The vessel is 35.7 metres in overall length, with a moulded beam of 11.50 metres, and has a multi-role capability for harbour, escort and sea towage, as well as full fire-fighting and salvage roles. It has FiFi 1 fire-fighting, salvage, escort towage and oil recovery notations, and is powered by two Caterpillar engines, delivering 70 tonnes bollard pull. The ‘Multratug 17' has a double drum winch aft and a single drum winch forward and a free running speed of 13.5 knots. It is classed by Bureau Veritas and is registered under the Netherlands flag. Multraship's new tug is to start work straight away, going on charter to Offshore Marine Contractors. Initially, it will be involved in rig moves in the North Sea, and next month is scheduled to tow a jack-up platform from Rotterdam to the Robin Rigg windmill park in the Irish Sea.
