MED MARINE, a leading Turkish shipbuilder, has successfully launched a state-of-the-art RAmparts 2300-W series tug for Remolcanosa, reinforcing the Spanish operator’s capabilities in modern port operations. The vessel, constructed at MED MARINE’s Ereğli Shipyard, combines power, efficiency, and manoeuvrability, setting a new standard for harbour towage.
The newly launched 23-meter harbour tug is expertly engineered to deliver a powerful bollard pull of 50 tonnes, fully meeting Class FIFI-1 standards. Built as a true multi-purpose vessel, it seamlessly blends strength and versatility, ready to tackle ship handling, towing, pushing, mooring, and firefighting with confidence. Equipped with both forward and aft winches and an aft towing hook, this tugboat stands prepared for whatever challenges the sea may bring.
Its propulsion system centers on an azimuth stern drive powered by two robust diesel engines linked to drive shafts and Z-drive units. The combination of fixed pitch propellers and high-efficiency nozzles not only guarantees outstanding bollard pull but also precise manoeuvrability, essential for demanding harbour operations. The welded steel hull is reinforced with watertight bulkheads, thoughtfully dividing the vessel into key compartments such as the fore peak, accommodation, engine room, diesel oil tanks, Z-drive area, and aft peak tanks, ensuring safety, durability, and structural integrity in every wave.
This launch reflects MED MARINE’s ongoing commitment to understanding its clients’ unique operational needs and delivering tailored, high-performance solutions that meet them, built not just with technical precision, but with genuine collaboration at every stage.
