Engine Supply Agreement Finalised for High-Specification Tug Fleet
Engine manufacturer Everllence has secured a contract to equip four next-generation offshore terminal tugs with its 175D gensets. The agreement was signed with a Turkish shipyard specialising in high-speed vessel construction.
A total of 16 Everllence 175D diesel-electric gensets will be installed across the four Rampage 6000-DE class tugs, designed by naval architects Robert Allan Ltd. The vessels are destined for operations in Guyana under the management of Smit Lamnalco, a leading provider of marine support services in the offshore energy sector.
