Damen Shipyards Group has delivered an ASD Tug 3010 ICE to Sweden’s Sundsvall Hamn (Port of Sundsvall). It will replace an older tug that was built in 1972.
In addition to surface and sub-surface duties for monitoring or repelling submarines, these four ships will be deployed for several other (inter)national tasks.
Developed in close cooperation with Damen, the tugboat follows previous world firsts such as the Hydrotug (hydrogen-driven) and the Methatug (methanol-driven).
Damen Shiprepair and Alfa Laval Benelux have signed a memorandum of understanding to intensify their cooperation on energy efficiency in the maritime industry.
The agreement covers the state-of-the-art solution that integrates EID’s proven Integrated Communication System and networking technologies into a unified C4I platform.
The project has involved the integration of a series of efficiency boosting technologies and is expected to lower the vessels’ fuel consumption and emissions significantly.
