Robert Allan Ltd will provide a series of tugboat designs to enable Med Marine to build zero-emissions vessels.
Med Marine said it plans to build its VoltRA series of zero- and low-emissions tugboats in Türkiye.
The tugboats will have an overall length of 21-30 m and electrical networks to transmit power to azimuth thrusters from multiple sources, including generators, engines and battery systems.
“At Med Marine, we seek to be ready for forthcoming challenges to serve our clients with the latest features that technological advancements offer,” said Med Marine chairman Recai Hakan Şen.
“We have been cooperating with Robert Allan Ltd since 1995 with around 200 tugs of their designs constructed so far.”
Med Marine employs Eregli Shipyard, one of the largest shipyards in Türkiye, to build tugboats and other vessels including product tankers, pilot boats and line-handling craft.
“Once again, we have aligned with Robert Allan Ltd for the design of these advanced technological electric and hybrid tugboats,” said Mr Şen.
