Eren Energy buys ultra-modern tugboat from Sanmar Shipyards
Sanmar Shipyards has sold another of its hugely popular multi-purpose technologically advanced Bogacay Class tugboats, this time to fellow Turkish company Eren Energy.
Built in 2018 at Sanmar’s state-of-the-art purpose-built Altinova Shipyard, Bogacay XXXlll is an example of the exclusive to Sanmar RAmparts 2400SX design from Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd.
The modern twin Z-drive, diesel powered tug has been designed for maximum efficiency in the performance of ship-handling duties for sea going ships.
Bogacay XXXlll is the third tugboat that Sanmar has sold to Eren Energy. The tug has an overall length of 24.4m and a moulded beam of 11.25m. Its two main engines each produce 1,765kW of power to give the vessel a bollard pull of 60 tonnes.
Bogacay XXXIII comes with Class 1 fire-fighting capability and can achieve a free running speed of 13 knots. It has a fuel capacity of 74.2m3.
Cem Seven, President of Sanmar said: “It is always pleasing when an existing customer returns to do more business with us. I am delighted that Eren Energy have once again come to Sanmar to meet their operational needs. Bogacay XXXlll is an excellent example of one of our range of our modern industry-leading tugboats.”
