Sanmar compact ASD tug range continues to impress Abu Dhabi Ports

MDN İstanbul

Abu Dhabi Ports, the developer, operator and manager of commercial and community ports within the emirate of Abu Dhabi, announced the award and purchase of two new Sanmar-built tugs during the SeaTrade Offshore Marine & Workboats Middle East Exhibition and Conference (SOMWME) on Sept. 26, Sanmar said in a recent press release.
The new Yenicay Class tugs — based on the same Robert Allan Ltd Rascal 1800 basic design, which have a bollard pull power of 30 tonnes — will service both the Mussafah Port and Zayed Port and complement Abu Dhabi Port’s existing advanced fleet. The management of these tugs falls under SAFEEN — ADPC’s marine services division.
Designated Yenicay VI and VII, the first unit will be heading for its new home with SAFEEN within a month, whilst the second will be entering service in early 2018. SAFEEN already operates one similar Sanmar-built Yenicay Class tug in its fleet — delivered in April 2016.
The Yenicay class of compact tugs have been specifically designed to provide high performance line and ship handing capabilities typical in smaller ports and harbors in the region. In addition, with upgraded seawater cooling and HVAC they will ensure reliability and crew comfort during the extremely high ambient air and seawater conditions faced during summer months in the region.
Sanmar, at its two custom built shipyards, continues to build from its extensive portfolio of Robert Allan Ltd designed tugboats ranging from 15 to 29m LOA, with bollard pulls spanning from 15 to 90 tonnes. Over the last three years, Sanmar delivered a total of 18 tugs and workboats to ME clients.

Sanmar also announced in October that Svitzer, a leading provider of harbor and terminal towage to the global shipping industry, has named its new ASD tug Svitzer Adira, an 80-tonne bollard pull vessel built by Sanmar in Turkey, at a ceremony in the Port of Southampton.
The name-giving ceremony took place on board the Princess Caroline cruising the Southampton Harbour with the attendance of Managing Director of Svitzer Europe Kasper Nilaus and Adira’s Godmother Andry Waterman, Sanmar said.
Svitzer Adira, a RAstar 2800, will be serving the shipping industry in the port of Southampton as part of Svitzer’s fleet of five tugs.
