Turkish shipbuilder Uzmar has completed construction on three tugs to be operated by Smit Lamnalco in Mozambique.
The BV-classed, Robert Allan Ltd-designed sisters SL Ibo, SL Matemo, and SL Macaloe each have an LOA of 42 metres, a moulded beam of 16 metres, and a maximum draught of seven metres. The two Anglo Belgian Corporation 2,900kW diesel engines on each tug deliver a bollard pull of 93 tonnes and a free running speed of 14 knots.
The tugs are also equipped for firefighting, oil spill recovery, and standby rescue duties.
