Med Marine has announced the successful launch of MED-A2575 RAmparts 2500-W Series Harbour Tug at its group-owned Ereğli Shipyard on October 30th, 2023.
The new custom-designed 21-metre vessel will enhance island protected area management, research, incident response and facilitate more efficient management of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
The vessel will continue to be operated by Shin-Nihon Kaiyosha to verify its decarbonization effect and operational safety as the world's first ammonia-fueled vessel.
The vessel will have a hopper capacity of 31,000 m3 and will be built at the IHC yard in Krimpen aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, over the next few years.
