Med Marine and SAFEEN Group have signed a contract for a MED-A2360 series tugboat that will be deployed to meet the growing marine service requirements of Abu Dhabi Ports and the increasingly complex demands of the wider maritime industry.
The vessel, a Ramparts 2300-MM tug designed by Robert Allan Ltd exclusively for Med Marine, was chosen by SAFEEN for its versatile, multi-purpose, compact ASD design, which features efficient ship-handling, coastal towing, and other general purpose towing capabilities. Delivery of the tug is set for July 2021.
Med Marine has built six units of the same design — including a 50 Tons Bollard Pull (TBP) version —
