OSD launches latest harbour tug design in its Azistern series
Offshore Ship Designers (OSD) has launched a new tug design as part of its expanding portfolio of fuel-efficient vessels. The 390 gt Azistern 2870 harbour tug has a hard chine hull form which optimises energy-saving during transit and results in a very low wash, an invaluable attribute in crowded ports and harbours. It has a bollard pull of 70 tonnes and a maximum speed of 12 knots. Providing accommodation for six persons, it has an overall length of 28.3 m, and a breadth of 11.5 m.
The Azistern 2870 combines compact vessel length with high bollard pull. It has been designed with multiple deck equipment options, the installation of which are dependent on specific end-user preference. Options can include a double drum forward towing winch with integrated horizontal anchor windlass and mooring warping heads, or a forward towing winch with separate vertical anchor windlass/capstan units. A double drum aft winch can be included in a semi-sheltered position, and the towing hook comes with multiple positioning options. The vessel can also be fitted with a stern roller, deck crane, and FiFi monitors, and the design accommodates the possible installation of a bow-thruster unit.
The Azistern 2870 has been designed with fully MLC-compliant crew cabins which include a number of ensuite washrooms. There is semi-sheltered accommodation access and ample space for storage of loose deck equipment. The vessel also features semi-sheltered engine room intake louvres and fully enclosed dedicated deck store lockers and rope store lockers, ideal for operation in cold-weather regions.
OSD technical manager Herm Jan de Vries says, “The Azistern 2870 is the very latest addition to our Azistern family. Like its sisters, it is a highly flexible vessel which offers operators the innovative options they need in today’s challenging market conditions. The basic design is on the shelves, which results in a short delivery time for clients.”
