Galileo Galilei is dredging the bay’s access channel, increasing its depth from -14 metres tot -16 metres and improving maritime accessibility to the port area.
Currently, three tugs are permanently stationed in Halifax, supplemented by two on-call vessels. The new Rastar 3200 vessels will replace the on-call tugs
The delivered tugboats, all designed by the Canadian Naval Architect Robert Allan, are RAstar 2800 models specifically selected by Svitzer for their efficiency in harbor operations.
Svitzer has signed a 15-year agreement to service Gastrade’s Alexandroupolis Independent Natural Gas System (Alexandroupolis INGS) LNG terminal, the first offshore LNG project in Greece.
