This move is part of Sanmar’s strategy to support initiatives in the tug and workboat industry for a sustainable, low and zero-emission future.

Sanmar is currently working with Canadian naval architects Robert Allan and battery energy storage provider Corvus Energy for the development and construction of the ElectRA range of electric tugboats.

This range will include five vessels between 19m and 28m in length with up to 70t of bollard pull.

Sanmar Shipyards research and development (R&D) and electrical systems director Tamer Geckin said: “We are delighted to have been able to share our expertise, skills and knowledge with Igus.

“Our vision of a future sustainable carbon-neutral tug and the towing sector will depend on simple, easy-to-use and efficient infrastructure at ports and harbours around the world. We are proud to be at the heart of this transformation through innovation and technological advance.”

In April, MAN Energy Solutions won a contract from Sanmar for the supply of MAN 12V175D engines for a next-generation Svitzer 60 TBP TRAnsverse tug.
