Unique Escort Tugs Bound for Finland
The first of a pair of unique escort and shiphandling tugs is about to be put into service by Fortum Oil and Gas Oy for use at the Rorvoo and Naantali terminals on the southern coast of Finland. The tugs will replace the existing 45 tonne bollard pull Esko class vessels introduced in 1990 and will carry out tethered, active, escorting with tankers over distances of between 20 and 65 miles.
