Tug

Safe, reliable and cost efficient operations are crucial for tugs, as is the need to comply with global and local environmental regulations. Our hybrid and fully electric solutions are designed with built in redundancy for enhanced reliability of operations, and can easily integrate alternative energy sources that allow you to comply with current and future environmental regulations. More importantly, hybrid or fully electrical operations reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
