“We are pleased to be working with Drydocks World to integrate highly efficient LNG power and propulsion systems into LNG powered tugs for the Middle East market. This cooperation further demonstrates our commitment to helping customers improve their operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. We look forward to working with Drydocks World and other partners as we develop these opportunities further,” said Gilliver.
The latest state-of-the art ECA Tier 3 compliant Rolls-Royce [Bergen C26:33] marine gas engines are ideal for tug propulsion. They are designed to improve fuel efficiency, dramatically cut harmful emissions and meet strict international environmental standards set to take effect in 2016.
Moreover, Buamim stated: “We are at the threshold of a new era in environment management for maritime sustainable development. Drydocks World seeks to take a leadership role in implementing green technology solutions and is developing a new product, the ‘Green Tug,’ which is an LNG powered tug that will comply with new emission control regulations.”
