Australian Mackenzie Marine and Towage Pty Ltd., which were looking for a tugboat to be used both for towing and firefighting for their port operations in Esperance, decided on the Bogacay LI, produced by Sanmar. The Australian company and Sanmar have agreed to deliver the tug in the fourth quarter of 2022.
SUPERIOR FEATURES
Sean Mackenzie, the General Manager of the company, which has been serving in Australia for 50 years, said that they are satisfied with the quality and superior features of the Bogaçay LI, which can be used both for tractor and fire fighting, and also has a winch at the back. “We will use the Sanmar tug to provide innovative towing solutions,” said Mackenzie.
WE ARE HONORED
Craig Bramley, Asia Pacific Sales Director, Sanmar Shipyards, said: “I welcome Mackenzie Marine and Towage as a new customer and am delighted that they have chosen Sanmar as their top choice for providing a reliable and robust tugboat. “We at Sanmar are proud to have signed this contract with the team at Mackenzie, which is very important to us in the Asia Pacific region, and we will be honored to showcase this new RAmparts 2400SX alongside our other deliveries in Australia this year.”
ROBERT ALLAN DESIGN
The updated version of the RAmparts 2400 SX, specially designed for Sanmar by Canadian naval architect Robert Allan, MKII is known as Bogacay in the market. The 24.4 meter long tug is 12 meters wide and powered by two Caterpillar main engines. These motors can transmit 2 thousand 100 kW of power to each propeller. Bogaçay has a total pulling power of 70 tons of bollards.
