HaiSea Marine orders five tugs for LNG Canada contract
HaiSea Marine, a joint venture of Haisla Nation and Seaspan, has entered into a contract with Turkey’s Sanmar Shipyards for a fleet of five tugboats that will support the Anglo-Dutch Shell-led LNG Canada project in Kitimat, on Canada’s west coast.
The tugboat fleet, based on designs from Vancouver naval architect Robert Allen Ltd selected by LNG Canada and HaiSea Marine earlier this year, will consist of two dual-fuel (LNG and diesel) RAstar 4000-DF escort tugs and three ElectRA 2800 battery-powered harbour tugs

One of world’s greenest tug construction programs kicks off May 21, 2021, by Fatima Bahtić
HaiSea Marine (HM), a joint venture partnership between the Haisla First Nation and Seaspan ULC, has announced the official start of its battery-powered and low emissions tugboat build program.
Once delivered in 2023, the new fleet is expected to be “among the greenest tugboat fleets in the world” and will provide ship-assist and escort towing services to LNG carriers calling at LNG Canada’s new export facility in Kitimat.
Designed by Vancouver-based naval architects and marine engineers Robert Allan Ltd. (RAL), the tugboats will be built at Sanmar Shipyards. They will use battery-electric power and natural gas instead of diesel fuel.
