| 摘要： | Damen Shipyards, Gorinchem, The Netherlands, is building the world's first full electric harbor tug for delivery in 2021. Last summer, construction began on the all-electric 81 'x43' RSD-E Tug 2513 for the Ports of Auckland, New Zealand, at Damen Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam. "What makes this a pivotal event in the 220-year history of tugboats is that when launched, the vessel will be the first, fully electric tug with 70 tons of bollard pull in existence," Damen said in a report released last year. "This potentially heralds a new era of emissions-free operations in a critical area of maritime activity and marks a big step forward both for Damen and for a sustainable future in harbor and other maritime operations worldwide." The reverse stern drive (RSD) tug design has a bow on the fore and aft side of the hull. As a result, the tug, while performing a ship assist, can operate bow first at the front side and at the aft side of a vessel. Twin fin skegs give the tug maneuverability and course stability despite its small length-to-beam ratio. Compact outer dimensions make the tug ideal for maneuvering in confined harbors and locks. The combination of high freeboard, large bow height fore and aft, wide beam, low vertical center of gravity (VCG) and big down flooding angles are designed to make the vessel a safe harbor/ terminal tug. |
