The tests at Yuchai Marine Power Co (YCMP) confirmed the engine's performance and compliance, while the prototype project validated its ease of assembly and maintenance.
Louis Dreyfus Armateurs ordered two new CTVs, to expand its fleet from 5 to 7 high specification vessels. The two units will be sisterships to the Acti’Vent and Esti’Vent and will be built by Strategic Marine.
The 32-metre vessel delivers well over 80 tonnes of bollard pull, making them capable of handling even the largest container vessels in harbour as well as offshore towage.
