2 tugboats at the Hong Kong United Dock will be delivered

The Hong Kong United Dockyard Group is serving two of its 5,000-horsepower advanced ocean-going tugboats. It hosted a reception at Tsim Sha Tsui on the 20th. About 300 traders and airliners attended the event. According to the shipowner, the local advanced tugboat business has broad prospects.

The United Dockyard has ordered four identical tugboats at a price of nearly HK$300 million. The two vessels were named after “Taigu” and “Huangpu” respectively. They were launched in the third and fourth quarters of last year. The second batch of two ships named "Da O" and "Yin O" will be delivered in the first and second quarters of this year. It is very interesting that the United Dock has always followed the usual naming conventions, named the new ship in Hong Kong's household name, and re-introduced some familiar names, which were named after the first batch of new tugs in the 1970s. It is already the fifth generation of tugboats to inherit these names.

The tugboats built by Hong Kong ship repairers are 30 meters long and have a towing force of 74 tons. The fuel load is larger than that of a general tugboat. It has both fire fighting, salvage, port tugboat and long-distance towing capacity. It is also an unlimited sea area service. Designed by renowned British shipbuilder Robert Alan, the ship is built to international standards and meets the ever-changing needs of today's world-class ports. The equipment is first-class. Its biggest feature is the clever position of the chimney. With the tempered glass in the panoramic view, the staff can turn around the boat without a turn, and enjoy 360-degree panoramic view of the sea surface operation, which is convenient, fast and safe.

The vessel is equipped with two environmentally-friendly diesel engines from Niigata Iron Works of Japan, which supply 5,000 horsepower to propel two propellers that can be turned 360 degrees. The ship is built by the Hong Kong Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Zhuhai, and the quality and technology can be comparable to those of Japan. Similar products.

According to Fang Yucai, the deputy chief executive of the group, the tugboat designed in Hong Kong is specially adapted to the needs of different customers. Because of its own maintenance and quality, the quality is guaranteed, and the service in the market is affirmed and praised by customers. He said that the current business is no problem, even the latest two ships, and in the future can serve Maersk's 18,000-ton super-large container ship. Due to good reputation, ocean customers are willing to use the Hong Kong-style tugboat service.
