UZMAR and Robert Allan Ltd have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for battery electric tugboat series designs, giving UZMAR exclusive rights to market the battery electric tugboat series globally.
The agreement was signed by Robert Allan Ltd. CEO Mike Fitzpatrick and UZMAR CEO A.Noyan Altug at UZMAR's headquarter office in Istanbul, Turkey.
Robert Allan Ltd has designed the ElectRA series of electric propulsion tugs, seen as a revolution in the world of ship-handling tugs. Designed to maximize the potential of electric propulsion, this series stands to play a major role in the decarbonisation of the world’s ports. With the first-in-series battery electric variants already under shipyard contract, zero-emission propulsion is no longer a future aspiration but a fully viable solution to meet an urgent need for emissions reduction.
Available with or without backup generators, and in either day boat (shift tug) or full accommodation configurations, tugs in the ElectRA series are customized for individual customers’ specific needs, with capacities carefully tuned to each vessel’s unique load profile.
Low-emission and low-noise towing platforms, the environmentally friendly tugs are designed to be ready and fully capable of meeting the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
