German towage services provider Urag has taken delivery of two Damen ASD 2411 Tugs to add to its existing fleet.
Named Brake and Perfect, the new vessels have joined their sister ship Prompt in the port of Hamburg under the Urag subsidiary Lutgens und Reimers (L&R).
70 Tonnes Bollard Pull
The order for the tugs was placed in September 2014 and work began immediately on the twin vessels at Damen’s partner yard Song Thu (Da Nang) in Vietnam. Like the Prompt, the two new ASD 2411 tugs feature a bollard pull of 70 tonnes. At 24.5 metres, they are suited to restricted waterways as well as open water assignments. Extra thick plate was used in the construction, along with extra brackets and fendering, to ensure maximum durability.
From Vietnam the tugs were shipped to Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam for a final inspection and outfitting before being officially handed over to Urag on 19 March.
