DESIGNER
Robert Allan Ltd.
The Rotor®tug distinguishes itself from conventional ASD, tractor or Voith designs by using three azimuth propulsion units, oriented in a triangular configuration. Manoeuvrability is superior to the conventional designs, with enhanced safety during towing and escort operations. Other benefits include an added level of redundancy with the triple engine and thruster combination and higher bollard pull in all directions. As the 80-32 series name implies, the 32 metre tug delivers a bollard pull of over 80 tonnes, both ahead and astern, with a free running speed of 13 knots. 6 crew can be accommodated, 2 in single master and engineer cabins on the main deck and 4 more in two 2-man cabins on the lower deck.
