Indian Navy orders tugs from two local yards
TUG AND SALVAGE WEEK
The Indian Navy has awarded contracts to two separate shipyards for the construction of nine new tugs.
The 25-tonne bollard pull vessels will be built by Titagarh Wagons and Shoft Shipyard in compliance to Indian Register of Shipping rules.
The tugs will provide escort and berthing/unberthing assistance for the navy’s larger surface ships and submarines.
