Fairmount achieve complete ownership of their five super tugs

Henk van den Berg, CEO of Fairmount Marine commented, ‘We are of course delighted with this important step in the development of Fairmount. We are very happy to note that the project for the construction and chartering of the five tugs came to a very successful end for the investors. Without them, and I cannot emphasise that enough, we would now not be the operators of five such great vessels. I wish to thank our partners and friends of Hanzevast, who did an excellent job, not only in putting the project together, but also in managing the tugs until delivery of the vessels into our management.

‘I am also pleased that Hanzevast has agreed to continue rendering technical assistance to Fairmount in order to achieve a smooth transfer of all ship management functions for the five tugs to us. The Dutch merchant fleet has now five super tugs in its books and I am proud to see Rotterdam on their sterns as their home port. And, last but not least, I express my gratitude to the investors, who have now parted from their tugs, for their support, loyalty and trust.’

The Fairmount fleet of five 200 tons bollard pull super tugs has a full order book and is the prime choice for Fairmount’s clients in the oil and gas offshore industries, where long or short distance towage of the heaviest and most demanding floating objects is concerned.
