UZMAR Shipyard and Robert Allan Ltd have signed an agreement for the design and build of a new series of methanol-fueled tugboats. These new designs, exclusive to UZMAR, represent a new generation of lower emission tugs that owners are demanding to meet CO2 reduction targets. The agreement was signed for four new designs.
The new series will have improved energy efficiency and will be able to generate a significant amount of annual CO2 emissions savings. The methanol fuelled series will have LOA between 25 meters to 32 meters and include one tractor tug design.
UZMAR is planning to replace all the tugboats in its fleet with eco-friendly newbuilds and offer the global market a solution for their needs for sustainable lower emission vessels.
