World leading tugs locally built
Setting the scene for sustainable sailing in India
The Government of India recently determined a strategy for a sustainable shipbuilding industry. Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC) provides you with the means to construct our vessels at a shipyard of your choice in India, with the support of local suppliers. With this, you have access to our diverse portfolio of sustainable and proven tugs, including future facing, fully electric models.
Sustainable Tugs
Times are changing. Calls for sustainable shipping solutions are louder than ever before. We aim to answer those calls, playing our part towards enabling maritime sustainability – so you can play yours. That is why we have developed a range of sustainable tugs, able to fully comply with the Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP). This includes increased efficiency conventional propulsion vessels as well as both hybrid and fully electric vessels, offering zero emissions performance. Our scope for fully electric projects expands beyond the vessel and includes the construction, delivery and installation of all electrical infrastructure. Take charge of tomorrow.
