Portfolio ASD / VSP Tugs 75t Bp Hybrid Diesel And Battery Propulsion Escort Tug
CLIENT: SVITZER AUSTRALIA PTY LIMITED
VESSEL BUILT AT: ASL SHIPYARD, SINGAPORE
CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY: LRS
The tug operated from a berthing facility which happens to be a conservation area and hence it is not allowed to run a diesal engine. As a result it has to shut down at a designated distant point its diesel electric plant and switchover to a bank of batteries to proceed to its berth. Actual operation as a tug is still done in diesel electric mode.
