Delo Group increased the size of its own tugboats fleet
On February 8, 2021, «Delo» Service Company (part of DeloPorts, a stevedore asset of the largest transport and logistics holding in Russia, Delo Group) replenished its own tugboats fleet with the sixth multifunctional tugboat «Delovoy-6» manufactured by Damen Shipyards Group. The order was completed by the company on time and in full compliance with the terms of reference. At present, the tugboat is being accepted, and then the activities for its commissioning will begin.
The main characteristics of «Delovoy-6» are length - 22.73 m, width - 9.80 m, engine power - 3000 kW or 4080 hp, tugboat type - azimuth.
The increase in the number of the tugboats fleet is part of the ongoing plans to expand the production capabilities of stevedore assets.
Chief Executive Officer of DeloPorts, Igor Yakovenko emphasized: «After the launch of the reconstructed KSK Grain Terminal, scheduled for the summer of 2021, we expect to host grain carriers with a carrying capacity of up to 100 thousand tons. The NUTEP Container Terminal is operating at full capacity. Very soon, we will have to simultaneously moor large vessels at both terminals, so expanding our own tugboat fleet is a logical step towards solving this problem».
In addition to the towing functions itself, «Delovoy-6» is equipped with a fire-prevention system. Now the fleet of SC Delo consists of six powerful tugboats, three of which have a fire class.
