The RAstar Class tugs are designed to provide exceptional ship-handling and sea keeping performance in exposed terminal locations. With a unique hull form, they offer significant reductions in roll amplitude and accelerations compared to conventional hull designs. Their main purpose is to support the expansion of LNG facilities at ports, assisting large ships in berthing and departing from berths, and escorting them through challenging narrow channels with extreme weather conditions. The tugs are equipped with specialized bow fendering and towing equipment to handle wave heights of up to 3 meters and wind speeds over 40 knots.
