RAMORA SERIES
The time is fast approaching when drone technologies will find a place in today’s tug operations. The use of un-crewed tugs opens up a whole new realm of operational possibilities.
The RAmora is the lead vessel within Robert Allan Ltd.’s new TOWBoT (Tele-Operated Workboat or Tug) series. Based on a RAVE type platform, the RAmora is highly manoeuvrable and equipped with an advanced control system derived from the ROV/AUV and aerial drone applications. The RAmora is designed to be easy to operate wirelessly by an experienced tug master from the safe vantage point of a nearby vessel, maintaining a level of control no different from being onboard. This revolutionary concept can leverage the capability of a conventional tug through tandem operation during typical ship handling, while at the same time bringing emergency capabilities to the harbour that are not always available with crewed vessels, including close-proximity fire-fighting, spill response, and toxic environment operation.
As the first in class RAmora, and others to follow, are set to become powerful new assets within the modern tug fleet.
