In addition, the air draught has limited to a maximum of 2.75m to help the vessels to escape under open pier structures, if required.

It has also been customised to handle the size and weight of mooring lines on large sea-going ships and are fitted with Mampaey quick-release towing hooks, Damen stated.

In December 2014, Multraship ordered three new azimuth stern drive (ASD) tugs from Damen Shipyards.

Scheduled for delivery in the end of the first quarter on 2015, two ASD Tugs 3212 will operate as sister vessels to the 83t bollard pull Multratug 19, which was built by Damen in Romania and delivered in 2012.
