Four Bigaçay tugs built by Sanmar Shipyards, which were ordered by Denmark’s Svitzer back in May 2017, will service the multi-hundred million dollar TMSA, Tanger Med 2 Port in the Kingdom of Morocco.
While two newbuildings of the order have already been completed at Sanmar, the remainder two tugs will be ready this month, and all four will then be delivered simultaneously to the Tanger Med 2 Port in the Kingdom of Morocco, which is operated by Svitzer.
The four all-new Bigaçays are 90 tons bollard pull RAstar 2900 SX terminal tugs with escort ability and accommodation space for eight crew members. The tugs are equipped with render/recovery winch, FIFI 1 and three of them with aft winch. After their deliveries, the tugs will service APMT’s concession for container terminal services to the port of Tangier Med 2 for a minimum period of 20 years.
Bigaçay Series’ ASD design is from Robert Allan Ltd, measuring 29,4m in length with a moulded beam of 13,4 and an overall draft of 6m. The ASD is powered by a pair of MTU 16V4000 M73L engines, delivering 2700 KW each to the Schottel SRP 560 azimuth drives 3m propellers. The render recovery winch is supplied by Ibercisa. As well as towage, the other services the tugs will be required to provide are: Pollution response, fire-fighting, and salvage operations within the port.
Also, two self-righting unsinkable pilot boats are planned to be provided together with a workshop and storage area within the port area.
