Sanmar, complete to regeneration programme of Sohar Port

The final piece of the tug fleet regeneration programme for Sohar Port has reached its finale with the technical delivery of the third powerful 80t bollard pull RAstar 2900SX variant, Sanmar’s Bigacay class, to Svitzer. She will be named Svitzer Saham and will join her two sisters (Svitzer Sohar and Svitzer Shinas) alongside two other earlier deliveries in 2020 of the 50t bollard pull variant of the RAmparts 2200 (named Svitzer Liwa and Svitzer Barka), Sanmar’s Sirapinar class, to the same client.

The arrival of this tug to the Port of Sohar will conclude the current fleet development aims of the operator, Svitzer and Port of Sohar; agreed as part of the 15 year renewal of the formers marine services contract, awarded in early 2019. These five tugs will together deliver a mighty 340 tonnes of total bollard pull across the new fleet; providing the port with the confidence and assurance to handle the ever increasing safe towing demands of modern shipping well into the future. Mobilisation to the Port of Sohar from Turkey will commence imminently under the direction of a Sanmar delivery crew.

Svitzer has previously placed orders with Sanmar Shipyards in recent years for 25 tugs in total, 23 ASDs and 2 ATDs, employed in the fulfilment of various towage contracts.
