Damen Shipyards Group and Noatum Maritime, part of AD Ports Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster, have agreed on the delivery of a second, fully electric Damen RSD-E Tug 2513.
The agreement was signed by Captain Ammar Mubarak Al Shaiba, CEO of AD Ports Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster and Damen Shipyards Group CEO, Arnout Damen.
The RSD-E Tug 2513 enables Noatum Maritime to perform berthing and unberthing operations at Khalifa Port with two electric tugs. This is aligned with Noatum Maritime’s vision to provide their clients with fully sustainable berthing operations.
The RSD-E Tug 2513, at 25m, is very compact and well suited to the modern terminal operation handling the world’s largest ships.
The patented Damen Twin Fin skeg and double bow concept provides superior manoeuvrability and sailing characteristics in both sailing directions. It offers ample strength with 70+ tonnes bollard pull.
The tug is able to complete two or more assignments on a single charge and can be rapidly recharged in just two hours, thereby supporting the maritime energy transition without compromising on performance.
Based on the success of the previously delivered RSD-E Tugs 2513, Damen is able to build the electric tugs allowing very short delivery times.
