Scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2016, the two tugs of Robert Allan Ltd design have a length of 31.57m and beam of 12.8m. Equipped with two 32R5/265-2 Voith Schneider Propellers (VSP), two 1330 DTL Turbo Couplings, two Renk bow-tooth couplings and a control stand in each of the two multi-purpose tugs, they are said to ensure reliable propulsion and excellent maneuverability in ports and at sea.
The programme comprises construction of up to ten Advanced Voith Water Tractors (AVTs) with a bollard pull of 80 tonnes in the next five years.
