The tug will be able to operate safely and efficiently on electrical power only, performing a range of duties that also include escort. It will also have two generators for providing backup, extending endurance, and supplying power for the firefighting pump.
Delivery of the new tug is scheduled for the second half of 2025.
Mathias Jonasson, Scandinavia Managing Director for Svitzer, said the acquisition of the tug is in response to the growing demand for environment-friendly towage services in Scandinavia.
