ART (ADVANCED ROTOR TUG®) SERIES

The ART (Advanced Rotortug®) designation applies to tugs featuring the unique triple drive configuration designed by Robert Allan Ltd. under the exclusive designer agreement with Rotortug® (KST) B.V., signed in 2013. Offering enhanced omni-directional manoeuvrability and control, with a redundant propulsion machinery configuration, the ART series offers enhanced performance for ship-handling, terminal support and escort towing. The ART series is poised to take the Rotortug® concept to the next level of development: as a truly viable solution for ship-handling in today’s ever busier and more congested ports, and for escort towing applications where high performance and reliability are paramount.

ART series tugs are classified according to their bollar pull in tonnes, and the approximate length, e.g. ART 85-35 (85 tonnes bollard pull, 35 metres length), and a range of powers can be accommodated within each hull size according to the specific operational needs. Accordingly there may be beam variations with the same length.
