The tugboats are set to serve the liquefied natural gas terminal currently under construction at the Kwun Tong Industrial Port.
The five tugboats are based on the Robert Allan design and will be constructed at PaxOcean’s yard in Batam, Indonesia. Each will have a bollard pull of 60 tonnes.
Two of the tugboats are to be fitted with steerable Rudder propellers and three with Voith Schneider propellers.
