A second versatile multi-purpose tugboat built by Turkey\u2019s Sanmar Shipyards has now joined its twin sister at Rijeka, Croatia\u2019s principal seaport. Known as Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay LXXII <\/em>while under construction, the tug, renamed TItan<\/em> by its new owner, is the second built by Sanmar under a two-tug contract placed by Italian shipping group Scafi for its Croatian subsidiary Jadranski Pomorski Servis<\/a>. It is now working alongside sister Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay Series tugboat Moretto.<\/em><\/p>\n Both tugs are based on the exclusive-to-Sanmar RAmparts 2400SX MKII design from Canadian naval architect firm Robert Allan Lt<\/a>d, and can achieve an impressive 80-ton bollard pull.<\/p>\n Measuring 24.4 meters in length overall, with a 12 meter molded beam, least molded depth of 4.5 meters and navigational draft of approximately 5.45 meterd, TItan <\/em>is an example of the most technologically-advanced and environmentally-friendly version of Sanmar\u2019s popular and continually evolving Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay class of tugs.<\/p>\n The diesel-powered Titan<\/em>, which can carry up to 77,900 liters of fuel oil, is designed for, among other things, optimal efficiency when carrying out ship-handling duties for sea-going ships, and has a wide beam for greater performance and stability.<\/p>\n With more powerful engines and larger twin Z-drives than similar-sized tugs, Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay class tugs are Sanmar\u2019s best-selling series and, along with ship-handling duties, are also widely used for coastal towing, escort, and other general purposes.<\/p>\n \u201cBo\u011fa\u00e7ay tugs have developed over many years and now utilise the latest technologies and design advances to great effect,\u201d said R\u00fc\u00e7han \u00c7\u0131vg\u0131n, commercial director of Sanmar Shipyards. \u201cThey offer unrivaled performance and efficiency in a wide range of duties. Their versatility is what makes them so popular. Titan is a workhorse tug that will simply get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Powerful Sanmar-built Bo\u011fa\u00e7ay tug joins sister in Croatia<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
