The 25m RAmparts 2500-W tug, delivering approximately 65 tonnes of bollard pull, moves into final outfitting and sea trials before joining MED MARINE’s growing fleet
MED MARINE has marked another milestone in its fleet renewal programme with the launch of a new RAmparts 2500-W tug at its EREGLI SHIPYARD in Türkiye.
Successfully launched at the end of July, the 25-metre tug has entered the next stage of construction, with outfitting, commissioning and sea trials to follow before joining the company’s growing fleet.
The latest RAmparts 2500-W has been built specifically for MED MARINE’s own operations. The vessel reflects the shipbuilder and operator’s integrated approach, with its design, construction and equipment selected to meet the demanding requirements of day-to-day harbour towage.
Designed as a versatile harbour tug, the vessel delivers approximately 65 tonnes of bollard pull and is equipped to meet Class FiFi-1 requirements. Her capabilities cover ship handling, towing, pushing, mooring, and firefighting operations, supported by an azimuth stern drive propulsion system that gives her the agility needed to work confidently in demanding port environments.
Two main diesel engines drive Z-drive units fitted with high-efficiency fixed-pitch propellers, translating power into the controlled thrust required for harbour operations. Beneath the deck, the welded steel hull is arranged around watertight compartments, with dedicated spaces for accommodation, machinery, fuel, fresh water, and the propulsion system. Every part has its place, built around the simple purpose of keeping the vessel safe, dependable, and ready for the work ahead.
For MED MARINE, this vessel carries something beyond its technical specifications. It is being built to become part of the company’s own working fleet, drawing directly on the shipbuilding experience developed at EREGLI SHIPYARD through years of building tugboats for operators around the world. The knowledge gained across those projects now returns to the MED MARINE fleet in a vessel shaped for the demands of life at sea.
