TOWLINES
SMITWIJS has been contracted to tow the cruise ship Norway from Bremerhaven in Germany to breakers in the Far East – possibly India or Malaysia. The task of towing the 76,049gt liner around the Cape of Good Hope is to be carried out by the Chinese tug De Da , a unit of the Global Towage Alliance with a bollard pull of 221 tonnes. Norway has been laid up in Bremerhaven since July 2003 following a boiler explosion in Miami earlier the same year.
