Damen has delivered a Stan Tug 2608 to the Italian company Ocean. It is the first tug for the maritime service provider, manufactured by the Netherlands based shipyard group.
The company, part of the Ocean-Team Group, will deploy the vessel in harbour towage operations in the por[ds_preview]ts of Monfalcone and Porto Nogaro in the northern reaches of the Adriatic Sea.
The new tug, called »Bat«, will strengthen Ocean’s capacity in the compact confines of the port of Monfalcone it’s said. To this end, the 26 m long vessel’s 45 t bollard pull has been supplemented with an aft winch to allow operations over the stern as well as over the bow. Further modifications include installation of FiFi equipment (600 m3 capacity), towing pins and adjustments required for Italian Flag compliance.
Damen delivered the ship on its own keel from Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam. An important aspect of the vessel order was Ocean’s specification for a fast delivery time.
»We required a delivery time of six months – and we are pleased to say that Damen has fully met our requirements,« comments Ocean Managing Director Michela Cattaruzza Bellinello.
