With modern and highly maneuverable tugs, the operations can be carried out safely with a minimum of tugs needed. KOTUG works with the unique Rotor®tugs. The principal advantage of this revolutionary tug is its remarkable manoeuvrability, provided by its three azimuth propulsion units, making it the safest way to tow in narrow locks, bridge passages and confined areas or even in adverse weather conditions. Due to the azimuth system, the bollard-pull of these tugs is maintained at an almost 100% level in any direction the tug is pulling. Due to the Rotor®tugs’ excellent manoeuvrability, fewer tugs per job are needed. Family pride: As part of the global strategy, KOTUG continues to invest in modern and powerful tugs to provide high quality services with well trained, dedicated and certified crew. KOTUG operates one of the youngest and most powerful fleets in the world. The average age of KOTUG fleet is 6 years.
