Sanmar Shipyards is delighted to announce that the first two tugs in a five tug order with Svitzer for ongoing operations in Oman have recently completed delivery and mobilisation to the Port of Sohar, with the remaining deliveries expected soon.
The order consists of five azimuth stern drive (ASD) tugs from the Sanmar portfolio. Three "Bigacay" Class, designated by the designer Robert Allan Ltd. as the RAstar 2900SX and two "Sirapinar" Class, designated by the designer as RAmparts 2200; another relatively new design but which is rapidly gaining favour. The Sirapinar class tugs were delivered on their own keels to the Port of Sohar on February 14, 2020 and commissioned on site shortly thereafter.
