New Escort Tug Under Construction for Norwegian Owners

Norwegian tug owners Bukser og Berging AS have entrusted Moen Slip A/S of Kolvereid, with the construction of the new state of the art escort tug. One of the worlds most advanced vessels of its kind, the new tug will serve the Statoil Mongstad Oil Terminal and replace the escort tug Bob that will then be released for use elsewhere. Escort towage is an essential element in measures taken by Statoil at Mongstad to prevent tanker related accidents and possible oil pollution in the relatively narrow Fensfjord.
