The 7,100HP tractor tug “Ilan I” (Hull UNV 487) is scheduled to start operations in May 2012.
Boluda Shipyards in Valencia, Spain, a division of Boluda Corporation Maritima delivered last week a new tug boat to the Haifa port.
The tug boat with Voith propulsion that offers it a great security and manoeuverability has a length of 31, 5 m, a beam of 12,5 m and a stanchion of 4,85 and a fixed pull of at least 70 tons. It is equipped with two propellant engines of 2650 kw each of them. It is as well equipped by systems against fire for the other boats.
The 7,100HP tractor tug “Ilan I” (Hull UNV 487) is scheduled to start operations in May 2012.
The arrival of the new tug completes the port preparation for the future increase in shipping traffic as well as the significant increase in container capacity following the opening of the Carmel Terminal which will handle large container vessels with capacity of TEU9,000 – TEU10,000.
The Lloyds 100A1 classed tug is also set up for firefighting.
