Tugboat
Powering the future in the tugboat industry
Tugboat owners and operators face changing environmental regulations, crew shortages, and fluctuating fuel prices, all demanding innovative solutions. We provide integrated systems, equipment and technology for a range of tugs. Our solutions enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental performance
Some of our solutions for new builds and existing tugs:
- Azimuth propulsions systems that boost manoeuvrability and fuel efficiency
- A range of thruster variants and design options
- Flexibility in a thruster system’s architecture for the right operational profile
- Automation and control systems that reduce crew workload and raise safety
- Hybrid technologies and fully electric solutions
The KONGSBERG Integrated Tug design includes critical systems to secure a a safe working platform for the operators. The E-TUG, gives the operator a vessel that can operate in a zero emission mode for most of its working time, only activating the main engine for the extra boost needed for the main towing operation.
Integration of our state of the art Propulsion units, Deck Machinery and Control and Safety Systems will reduce a number of cost elements for the TUG:
- Shipyard will save engineering hours, interface meetings, cabling and installation work, and over all reduce the risk in the project
- Tug designers will be able to tailor their solutions for specific designs and customer requirements together with KONGSBERG. An integrated solution will free up space and reduce weight. This is valid for winches, electrical systems and control systems at bridge
- Owner and operators will reduce OPEX regards to efficient operations. A proven life cycle management system for the delivered solution will in the long run save cost and increase visibility for the uptime of your asset.
- Shipyard, designers, owners and operators will benefit from the unique knowledge and experience Kongsberg possess after more than 30 years within demanding Offshore operations, enabled by Kongsberg contribution throughout the entire process from concept to operation.
The world´s most advanced technology systems are now made available for the demands in the TUG Industry.
“RECOTUG™ has the potential to change our business and increase the efficiency of our operations, but it's important to stress that RECOTUG™ is just one vessel right now, so we have a long journey ahead of us.”
