Sanmar A.Ş. , Robert Allan Ltd. and Svitzer have delivered an innovative tug that will ultimately use electric propulsion with methanol fuels cells. The vessel will be a ‘self-sustained tug with longer endurance and fewer operational constraints than a purely battery-powered vessel’, the firms say. Bearing the name Svitzer Taurus, the new vessel was named at a ceremony at Sanmar’s Altinova Shipyard. It was attended by senior executives from both Svitzer and RAL along with civic dignitaries and the delivery can be considered an important milestone in the development of shiphandling tugs, which is witnessing innovation in both alternative fuels and the design of the vessels themselves. In 2023 Svitzer, then part of A.P. Moller-Maersk, announced the launch of the second phase of its project to design what it called ‘the world’s first methanol hybrid fuel cell tug’, including its collaboration with RAL. The eventual series will feature an electrical propulsion system with methanol fuel cells and batteries delivering a ‘self-sustained tug with longer endurance and fewer operational constraints than a purely battery-powered vessel’. Secondary methanol-fuelled generators will provide back-up power if required without the need for a secondary fuel. Earlier, MAN had reported Sanmar ordering a pair of its 12V175D-MM, 2,040kW-rated IMO Tier III propulsion engines for the 60tbp TRAnsverse tugs. Another Turkish shipyard, UZMAR, is also engaged in constructing two new TRAnsverse tugs for Svitzer Australian operation. Renderings of the vessel indicate the wheelhouse and accommodation positioned towards the raised (what can be considered) forward end with the covered towing winch amidships, allowing shiphandling operations over the stern via a ‘unique’ towing staple developed by Svitzer. The design also incorporates other safety-related features including automated connection of the tow line with the assisted vessel. Read the full story on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/eUD6EfgJ

Commercial operations are king for vessel owners, therefore, it's imperative that onboard technologies - like Rotor Sails - do not interrupt port operations, impact the speed cargo can be loaded/unloaded, or limit the amount of cargo that can be taken onboard🚢 ANEMOI Rotor Sails do not interfere with cranes or other infrastructure during port operations at berth. This is due to both the relatively small size of our Rotor Sails in comparison to standard vessels, and the deployment systems that enable them to either fold horizontally or move along or down the deck. Luke McEwen, Anemoi's Technical Director, spoke to Manifold Times further about the increase in bulk carrier owners adopting Rotor Sails as a leading wind propulsion technology, highlighting its ability to enhance vessel efficiency while prioritising both cargo operations and environmental concerns.

What is mooring? 🕰️ A Brief History: Mooring dates back centuries, evolving from primitive anchor systems to today's intricate techniques. The goal? Keeping vessels steadfast amidst ever-changing tides. 🌐 Examples & Best Practices: Picture this - a ship gracefully anchored in a bustling port. Mooring lines expertly fastened to bollards, ensuring stability. Best practices? Regular inspections, proper line tension, and precise knotting – the unsung heroes of maritime safety! 🚀 Advances in Mooring: In the 21st century, technology elevates mooring to new heights. Automated systems, smart sensors, and innovative materials enhance efficiency and safety. It's not just about ropes and knots anymore; it's about precision and reliability. Let's celebrate the unsung heroes of our maritime journeys – the mooring experts who ensure our ships stand tall against the roaring seas. ⚓✨ #MaritimeABC #Shipping #MooringMagic #NauticalInnovation

[New orders] 💡 GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz) announces that it has received an order from its partner, the Korean shipyard HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, for the tank design of three new Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) on behalf of an Asian ship-owner. 🛳️ GTT will design the tanks for these three vessels, which will each offer a total capacity of 98,000m3. The tanks will be fitted with the Mark III membrane containment system developed by GTT. This new order brings to 25 the number of VLECs (ordered, under construction or in operation) adopting GTT's Mark III technology. 📅 Delivery is scheduled between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2027. ➡️ Read more: https://lnkd.in/e-Dw5EHs #GTTInside #TechnologyForASustainableWorld
