Multraship has taken delivery of a Damen ASD 2810 Hybrid tug vessel, built at Damen Shipyards Galaţi, in Romania.
The delivery is part of Multraship’s current fleet expansion programme. Additionally, the company has ordered two Damen ASD 3212 vessels, which are currently being built at Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam and will be delivered before the end of the second quarter of this year.
Fuel and Emissions Reductions
Damen’s new ASD 2810 Hybrid is a new design and this is the second of its class to be built. It features a diesel-direct, diesel-electric and battery powered propulsion system. According to Damen, it will lower fuel costs by up to thirty per cent and emissions by up to sixty 60 per cent. The tug features an expected bollard pull of 61 tonnes.
After completion, the vessel, named Multratug 28, sailed under its own keel to the Netherlands from Galaţi.
