Delivery of multi-purpose tug
The tug was developed in close cooperation with the classification society Germanischer Lloyd (GL)
The 31.5m-long and 12m-wide vessel, which was completed in a short period of just 10 months, has a large, free wooden covered deck with a powerful deck crane and a double drum towing and anchor handling winch.
Its main scope of service is providing assistance at any offshore and nearshore construction sites, as well as anchor-handling and aiding cable-laying vessels.
All the outfitting has been carried out in Sanmar’s new shipyard in Tuzla Bay, Istanbul.
“Torsten” will join the fleet of Hans Schramm & Sohn Schleppschifffahrt, which is also a company of the Schramm group. Once in Germany, the tug will be used as escort and support vessel for the cable layer ship “Nostag 10” in its first long-term use. The shipping company already has a long-term charter contract.
