Kompania di Tou Korsou (KTK) took delivery of the ‘Orca VI’, a powerful Damen Stan Tug 4011 built by PT Dumas in Surabaya, Indonesia on 2 April. With its bollard pull of 70 tons the new vessel will give an important boost to KTK’s capabilities in the international towing and salvage business. The 40.70m twin screw tug is powered by Caterpillar 3516 B TA/HDC main engines delivering 5,000bhp. After an impressive demonstration of its manoeuvrability, ‘Orca VI’ sailed for Panama.
