EMAR Offshore Services managing director Johan van Beek said: “This expansion of the fleet enables us to ramp up operations in Africa and fully establish ourselves as a leading marine services operator in the region.”
The ASD Tug 2811 has added features that include full compliance with the new stability regulations, a modular marine NOx reduction system and the Damen Digital Platform.
