Tor Group Delivers Fi-Fi Tug to NEOM in Saudi Arabia

Tor Group is pleased to announce the successful delivery of the 65TBP Fi-Fi tugboat “Abdul 11” to NEOM – the prestigious Urban Region of the Future in Saudi Arabia.

NEOM, a groundbreaking development powered by innovation and sustainability, aims to transform the way we live and work. With its strategic location on the Red Sea coast, NEOM is set to become a global hub for trade and industry. The addition of the state-of-the-art tugboat will further strengthen NEOM’s position as a leading maritime destination.

This is the third tug sale Tor Group has completed in the past 12 months, including that of the 40TBP Fi-Fi “Dalton Hunter” (ex-“Hope”) to PD Industries in Canada and the 48TBP “Bholu” to the Pakistan Navy – the latter delivered through an innovative design, material and supervisory partnership package.

Kemal Torlak, Tor Group’s CEO, said This latest tug sale cements Tor Group’s status as a trusted builder for tugs and other workboats. With our new facility near completion – for in-house builds – and our innovative design, equipment and supervisory package – for builds in third-party yards – now proven, Tor Group is firmly focused on the workboat market and the benefits sustainable and innovative technologies can bring to it.
