One of Türkiye’s leading shipbuilder and tug operator, MED MARINE has successfully launched the sixth and final RAmparts 2800 series ASD tug, completing the six-tug fleet programme built for Tunisia’s Office de la Marine Marchande et des Ports (OMMP). The launch ceremony, held in late November at MED MARINE’s Ereğli Shipyard, marks the culmination of this strategically planned construction series.
Measuring 28 metres in length and delivering a 60-tonne bollard pull, the vessel is built to reflect the precision, reliability, and robust performance associated with Robert Allan Ltd.’s RAmparts design. Fully compliant with Class FIFI-E requirements and powered by twin medium-speed diesel engines, the tug is engineered for dependable operation in demanding harbour conditions.
Its refined hull form delivers excellent manoeuvrability, stability, and energy efficiency, enabling seamless performance across towing, mooring, escorting, firefighting, pollution control, and coastal assistance tasks. The vessel continues MED MARINE’s approach to creating versatile, operator-focused maritime solutions.
The launch concludes the six-vessel RAmparts 2800 ASD tug programme, underscoring MED MARINE’s consistent project execution and OMMP’s commitment to strengthening Tunisia’s port capabilities with modern, high-performance assets.
