State-of-the-art tug trial runs at Port Authority (+pictures)

Don’t just say tug to a ‘Reversed Stern Drive Tug’. The new-generation tug, built by Damen, will be chartered for two months so that the Port Authority can gather input in its search for modern vessels for its tug fleet. Earlier this year, a new type of tug, a so-called carousel tug from Multratug also sailed on trial in the Port of Antwerp for several weeks.
