Schottel s equipment will be installed on two LNG-fuelled escort tugs, as well as in three battery-powered harbor tugs.
Ordered by Canadian HaiSea Marine, a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Seaspan ULC, the vessels will provide ship assist and towing services to LNG carriers stopping at a new LNG export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. All five tugs are scheduled to enter service in 2023.
