Last update: 3 hours agoMaritime Engineering: Berg Propulsion just landed a contract to equip four new high-powered diesel-electric offshore support tugs being built in Türkiye for Smit Lamnalco, with each tug targeting over 130 tonnes bollard pull and the first delivery set for November 2026 (all four by mid-2027). Shipbuilding Scale-Up: The 60m vessels, based on Robert Allan’s RAmpage 6000-DE design, will use twin 4,000 kW electric motors plus azimuth and bow thrusters, controlled by Berg’s MPC800 system, and include firefighting capability for early deployment in French Guiana. Regional Context: The deal also fits a broader push for bigger, more capable vessels in the region’s demanding operations.
