Rio Maguari completes series of 6 azimuthal tugboats for Svitzer
9 de May de 2024Three tugboats (Svitzer Atanásio, Svitzer Monte KT, and Svitzer Rocha Pedro) are part of a series of six azimuthal vessels ordered from Estaleiro Rio Maguari by Svitzer.
The ASD tugboats of the RAmparts 2300 Series, with a speed of up to 13 knots, a total length of 23.2 meters, and a bollard pull of 70 tons, are equipped with a FIFI-1 firefighting system.
The three vessels are operating at the Port of Santos to support the operations of Svitzer, a global leader in tugboat operations.
Our commercial director, Fabio Vasconcellos, attended the fleet presentation ceremony by the client Svitzer at the Capitania dos Portos in Santos (SP).
Vasconcellos emphasized that the delivery of the new Svitzer tugboats has definitely placed the Pará shipyard on the map as one capable of building large tugboats in Brazil. “Our next step is to achieve a commercially competitive position against international shipyards to begin exporting the first tugboats.”
