Dutch shipping and towage company Kotug christened their latest generation of rotor tugs 'RT Peter' during this year´s traditional Haring Party in Bremerhaven, Germany.
This tug measures 32 metres in length, with a width of 12 metres and is fitted with three Schottel propulsion units and a bollard pull of 85 tonnes. It is the second tug of a series of four sister tugs, all built at Niigata Shipbuilders in Japan, and part of Kotug´s fleet extension and renewal program.
The company is investing in a modern and strong tug-fleet, said Kotug´s President Ard-Jan Kooren.
Lady Angela Steinert christened the tug in the name of her husband, Peter Steinert, who passed away five years ago. Peter was the Managing Director of Kotug in Germany.
