Two MaK 16 M 32 C marine engines, each of 8000kW, will jointly propel a 'super tug' with more than 250tonnes bollard pull. PT Batamec shipyard in Batam, Indonesia, is working closely with Vik-Sand- vik Group, the Norwegian OSV design specialists, to build this multi-functional VS491 clean design anchor handling tug supply vessel. In addition to the two vee-type M 32 C engines, the CMPS scope of supply for this 90m design includes hybrid PTO/PTI gearboxes, 21m of shafting and 4.2m diameter propellers, all of which are from Scana Volda. The gearboxes provide a lot of flexibility with 4500kW PTO and 2000kW PTI capability. This set-up allows the tug to operate as a diesel-electric vessel when in dynamic positioning mode while using full engine power and electric boost for maximum pull operations.
