MED MARINE Launches New RAstar 2800 Tug for Noatum Maritime

28.4-metre ASD tug delivers 80-tonne bollard pull and FiFi 1 capability for terminal and escort operations.

MED MARINE has launched its latest RAstar 2800 class tug for Noatum Maritime, with the vessel entering the water at the Eregli Shipyard on 12 January 2026.

Compact in form yet formidable in capability, the RAstar 2800 measures 28.40 metres in length and delivers a powerful minimum bollard pull of 80 tonnes. Designed to perform where strength and precision matter most, the tug is ideally suited for demanding terminal and escort operations, offering agility, control, and reliability within a gross tonnage of under 500 GT. With a top speed of 12 knots and full compliance with Class FiFi 1 firefighting requirements, the vessel combines performance with readiness across a wide operational spectrum.

Conceived as a true multi-purpose tug, the RAstar 2800 is equipped with forward and aft towing winches to support ship handling, towing, pushing, mooring, and firefighting operations. An aft towing hook further enhances flexibility during complex manoeuvres, while the advanced azimuth stern drive (ASD) propulsion system ensures responsive handling and sustained pulling power under demanding conditions.
