Turkish shipbuilder UZMAR has delivered the RAmpage 4100BB-H Hybrid Offshore Tug BUBE POWER to Buksér og Berging AS, one of Norway’s most established maritime service providers.
The vessel was officially handed over during a ceremony at the UZMAR Shipyard, marking another milestone in the delivery of next-generation hybrid tug technology.
Designed by Robert Allan Ltd. and built by UZMAR’s expert engineers, the RAmpage 4100BB-H hybrid offshore tug stands out with its 41,2-meter length and 14.5-meter beam. Equipped with 2 x 2800 kW main engines and 2 x 900 ekW electric shaft generators, the tug provides 120 tonnes of bollard pull, making it ideally suited for heavy-duty offshore and harbour operations. The advanced winch, supplied by Kongsberg Maritime AS, represents the latest state-of-the-art technology available on the market. Berg Propulsion is the complete supplier of both propulsion and automation systems for BB Power.
Onboard systems comply with the highest comfort and safety classifications, COMF-NOISE 3 and COMF-VIB 3, offering a quieter, more stable, and ergonomic working environment for its 10-person crew. Adding to the vessel’s advanced features, the bridge has been designed for full operational command from operator chairs, offering outstanding ergonomics and precise control. Equipped with an Integrated Bridge System from Marine Technologies, LLC, the bridge includes four control stations that allow the crew to operate the winch, manoeuvre the vessel, and navigate BB Power efficiently without the need of hardcopy navigational maps.
UZMAR CEO A. Noyan Altug said, “The delivery of BUBE POWER marks a truly proud and meaningful moment for all of us at UZMAR. This vessel is a reflection of our commitment to sustainable engineering and our ability to meet the evolving demands of offshore operations with smart, future-forward solutions.
It has been a genuine pleasure working alongside Buksér og Berging AS throughout this project. Their professionalism, clarity of vision, and trust have made this collaboration a rewarding experience.
We are also deeply grateful to our long-standing design partner Robert Allan Ltd., whose expertise, innovation, and continued support were instrumental in bringing BUBE POWER to life. Together, we have created a vessel that raises the bar in performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.”
Buksér og Berging AS CTO Thomas Sørgjerd said, “We at Buksér og Berging AS are proud and honoured to take delivery of BB POWER – a vessel that truly embodies the future of advanced marine operations. This hybrid tug represents not only engineering excellence and environmental responsibility, but also the strength of collaboration between UZMAR, Robert Allan Ltd., and our dedicated team. BB POWER will be a cornerstone in our fleet, enabling us to serve with greater capability, safety, and sustainability.”
Delivery of RAmpage 4100BB-H is a shared commitment to reducing the maritime industry’s environmental footprint. With its hybrid propulsion and efficient power systems, the BUBE POWER stands out as a clear reflection of the sector’s transition toward smarter, greener vessels. UZMAR’s consistent focus on sustainable shipbuilding is setting a benchmark for future-ready maritime solutions.
