Rosmorport’s newest tugs begin work in Vladivostok, Vostochny seaports

The Far Eastern Basin Branch of Russian port operator Rosmorport has commenced operations of the three newest additions to its fleet of tugs.

The 26-metre icebreaking tug Askold and the 29-metre escort tugs Yemar and Sukhodol, which were commissioned into service in July, have now begun serving the seaports of Vladivostok and Vostochny following a period of trials.

All three tugs were designed by Damen for year-round operations.
