Shallow draft Ice class tug 'Liva'

摘要

The latvian freeport of Riga has taken delivery of the new multifunctional harbour tug Liva from Baltic Workboats located in Nasva Harbour, Estonia. Liva is the second shallow draft tug of its type constructed by the shipyard to designs by ILS of Finland. The vessel represents the second generation of tugs of this type marketed by Baltic Workboats, a company established in 1967 and better known for their pilot boats, patrol launches, ferries and other specialised craft constructed in steel and aluminium. The first very low draft ice class tug, the 19m Panda, was completed in 2011 for Saarte Liinid Ltd of Estonia.
