Turkey\u2019s Sanmar Shipyards <\/a>has launched a new tugboat for Ultratug<\/a> Mexico, which will operate at the Port of Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico\u2019s Pacific coast. The vessel, temporarily designated as Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay <\/em>LXXIX, is currently under construction at Sanmar\u2019s purpose-built shipyard.<\/p>\n The new Ultratug vessel is based on the RAmparts 2400SX-MKII design by Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd., a model exclusive to Sanmar, and tailored to meet the specific operational needs of Lazaro Cardenas Port. It will provide accommodation for up to eight crew members, featuring two single-berth cabins in the deckhouse and three double cabins below deck.<\/p>\n Powered by two IMO Tier III compliant CAT 3516E main engines, each producing a minimum of 2,200 kW at 1,600 rpm, the tug is designed to deliver an astern bollard pull of 75 tons and a free running speed of approximately 12.5 knots. The vessel is also compatible with Caterpillar\u2019s SCR exhaust after-treatment system, which significantly reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.<\/p>\n Part of Sanmar\u2019s best-selling and constantly evolving Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay Series, the tug combines compact size with high-performance capabilities. With a 12m moulded beam, 24.4m length overall, 4.5m moulded depth, and 5.45m navigational draft, it offers outstanding manoeuvrability and stability in demanding port conditions.<\/p>\n R\u00fc\u00e7han \u00c7\u0131vg\u0131n, commercial director of Sanmar Shipyards, said: \u201cThe launching of this tugboat marks a key milestone in our growing relationship with Ultratug. We have worked closely with their team to ensure the vessel is precisely aligned with the requirements at Lazaro Cardenas.<\/a> At Sanmar, our mission is to deliver vessels that are efficient, future-ready, and tailored to our clients\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Sanmar launches new tugboat for Ultratug\u2019s operations in Mexico<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"New](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marinelog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bogacay-LXXIX_1.jpg?resize=700%2C525&ssl=1\")
