Here we are in front of one of the strongest and most versatile vessels today. The Dual Fuel ASD Escort Tug, built by Gondán Shipbuilders, is one of the most modern boats of its type in the world, as it combines intelligent mechanics of two different fuels to handle temperatures of 20 degrees below zero in the extreme arctic. The system runs on LNG or diesel, thus ensuring operational flexibility and environmental sustainability.
The tug has steel as hull material and its two Wärtsilä 6L34DF engines produce 3000 kW each, sending all the power to two sets of azimuthal propellers. Its maximum speed is 15 knots and the mooring pull is 110 tons. At a speed of 10 knots, the steering force is 155 tons. A truly remarkable little one. The ship still has an operations crane, with a capacity of 3.8 tons and even a fast rescue boat, a Yamaha Outboard with 25hp.
Among its functions, it can play the role of escort tug, firefighting vessel, water spraying and oil recovery vessel, among other things. The command bridge is innovative, has a 360-degree view and the ship is robust, 40.2m long and 6.3m deep, has accommodation for 8 crew members to navigate with great comfort and safety in the most diverse operations that the tug can Perform.
