Press Release – December 18, 2020 marked the start of steel cutting for the first Robert Allan Ltd. designed tug for Rizhao Towing and Barge Company, Shandong Port Group, China. The
ASD 34/60 tug will be constructed at the facilities of Rizhao Gangda Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. Senior management of the Rizhao Towing and Barge Company, CCS Qingdao Branch and Rizhao Gangda Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co. Ltd attended the steel cutting ceremony.
The
ASD 34/60 tug is custom designed for operation in the coastal waters of China, with good performance in berthing & unberthing large vessels and especially for vessels with low freeboard where the height of the tug’s contact point with the assisted ship maybe a concern, while maintaining excellent sea keeping performance.
