MED MARINE, a leading Turkish shipbuilder and tug operator, has begun 2025 with strong commercial momentum by securing contracts to build five new tugs for operators in Italy, Greece, and Spain. These agreements reinforce the company’s growing footprint in key European maritime markets and demonstrate the industry’s confidence in MED MARINE’s customised vessel solutions.
In January, MED MARINE signed a contract for a 24-meter DRAfter 2400 series tug to be delivered to Greece. The vessel will deliver a minimum bollard pull of 40 tons and is powered by a twin-screw conventional propulsion system—making it a reliable workhorse for harbour duties including towing, pushing, and mooring.
Spain is also on the roster, with a Robert Allan Ltd designed RAmparts 2300-W tug designed for versatile harbour operations. Compact at 23 meters, but delivering 50 tons of bollard pull, the tug will feature dual winches, an azimuth stern drive propulsion system, and a layout optimised for efficient multi-purpose operations. These new agreements reflect MED MARINE’s dedication to quality, trust, and long-term partnerships, while marking a dynamic start to 2025. With each new vessel, the company reaffirms its mission to deliver innovative solutions to ports around the world.
In February 2025, MED MARINE also secured an order for two Robert Allan Ltd designed RAmparts 2500-W and one RAstar 3200-W series tugs to be delivered to Italy. Designed for versatility in harbour operations, the 25-meter RAmparts 2500-W tugs will offer 65 tons of bollard pull and feature an advanced azimuth stern drive propulsion system. The 32-meter RAstar 3200-W tug, on the other hand, is built for LNG terminal and escort duties. With an 80-ton bollard pull, dual winch capability, and LNG compatibility, this powerful unit will enhance safety and operational efficiency in demanding terminal environments.
These new contracts reflect MED MARINE’s dedication to quality, trust, and long-term partnerships, while marking a dynamic start to 2025. With each new vessel, the company reaffirms its mission to deliver innovative solutions to ports around the world.
