In early 2018, a new tug type based on Dutch towage innovator Novatug's patented Carrousel technology, the Carrousel RAVE Tug (CRT), was put into operation by Dutch towage operator Multraship. The CRT's development has been driven by Multraship's decades-long experience in towage and salvage. For the development of the CRT, Novatug has purposely been looking for a smarter solution than just adding installed power to tugs. The objective is for towage to add value to shipping as a driver for global trade in the face of the unmistakable trends towards larger ships, enhanced environmental and safety standards, and the demand for an optimal flow in the entire logistical chain. The CRT has been developed as a comprehensive answer to all of those concerns, operating within the capacity of existing maritime infrastructure and without demanding prohibitive further investments therein. We are honoured to present all the benefits of, and exclusively share, the first operational experience with the CRT at ITS 2018.
