Svitzer Completes Tug Series Delivery in Brazil
Rio de Janeiro – 07
May 2024 - Svitzer, a leading global towage provider,
has today announced the successful delivery of Svitzer Babitonga,
the final tug in a series of six sister vessels from the 2300
Rampart Series. The delivery strengthens its fleet serving Brazil's
dynamic maritime industry. The completion of this milestone project
underscores Svitzer's commitment to delivering safe and sustainable
towage services along Brazil's coastline.
Named after Babitonga Bay in Sao
Francisco, where Svitzer commenced its Brazilian operations in
2015, Svitzer Babitonga carries a special significance for the
company. Built by Brazilian shipyard Rio Maguari, Svitzer Babitonga
is an Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tugboat from the 2300 Rampart
Series. These sister vessels boast a top speed of 13 knots, an
overall length of 23.2 meters, and a bollard pull of 70 tonnes.
Svitzer Babitonga is also equipped with Fifi-1 firefighting
capabilities.
"This tug series is purpose-built to
support vital local operations, where it will play a crucial role
in assisting with harbour towage along the Brazilian coast and in
supporting LNG operations,” said Arjen Van Dijk,
Managing Director for Svitzer Americas. “I want to thank
Rio Maguari for delivering a series of high quality and reliable
vessels, and all our colleagues, onshore and onboard the vessels
for delivering a reliable service to our customers every day and
for contributing to jointly growing our portfolio in
Brazil."
The tugs’ Fifi-1 capabilities ensure
they are well-equipped for supporting Floating Storage and
Regasification Unit (FSRU) operations, reinforcing Svitzer's role
in safeguarding the Brazilian coast as the country's energy
landscape evolves.
“The delivery of the Svitzer Babitonga
marks an important milestone in concluding the program of six
newbuilds as a way to support our continuous growth journey in
Brazil,” said Daniel Reedtz Cohen, Managing
Director Svitzer Brazil. "With the delivery of these
tugs, Svitzer concludes a comprehensive tugboat program aimed at
supporting port infrastructure and towage in the
region."
Svitzer currently operates 22 tugs,
including the two vessels added to the fleet in 2024, from eight
ports across Brazil – Salvador, Suape, Pecem, Santos, Vitoria, Rio
Grande, Sao Francisco do Sul, and Paranagua.
As a leading global towage provider,
Svitzer combines its wide reach and experience with in-depth
regional and local knowledge to benefit its customers in Brazil and
ensure they receive services of the highest standard. The delivery
of the Svitzer Babitonga reaffirms Svitzer's dedication to
delivering reliable, sustainable, and safe marine services in
Brazil and beyond.
