Robert Allan Ltd. has secured a contract to design a new RAmparts 4300 ASD tug for Guangzhou Port, China, marking the first Robert Allan Ltd.-designed tug to join the port’s fleet.

The vessel will be built by Lianyungang Hongyun Industrial Co, with delivery scheduled for May 2028.

Designed for the demanding operational requirements of one of China’s busiest ports, the RAmparts 4300 will combine high towing performance with the versatility required for a range of coastal and offshore duties.

The vessel will be designed to provide the safety, reliability and operational efficiency required for sustained service across a broad range of marine applications.

The RAmparts series has established an international reputation for combining robust towing capability, operational flexibility and proven seaworthiness. The latest vessel will extend the series’ application in China while providing Guangzhou Port with a versatile tug capable of supporting both port and offshore operations.
