The Sharjah Ports Authority has taken delivery of a Damen ASD Tug 2411 from Damen Shipyards.
The tug was built at Damen Shipyards Sharjah, which is located in the Hamriyah Free Zone within the Sharjah Ports Authority.
'Al Luoloaya', which means pearl in Arabic, will join eight Damen Stan Tugs and one Damen pilot boat already operating at the port.
The vessel has a length of 25 metres and can travel at a top speed of 13 knots. With a 68.5-tonne bollard pull, the vessel can handle larger ships in the newly expanded Port Khor Fakkan. The vessel is equipped with FiFi 1 and water spraying notation.
