TELSTAR: EDDY Tug concept vessel matches clean electric power with high manoeuvrability

摘要

Slightly more compact than her predecessor Eddy 1 (see Significant Small Ships of 2014, pages 26 and 27), the compact, 25m Telstar, which was delivered in October 2016, is a further refined version of the hybrid-driven 'Efficient, Dynamic, Double-Ended' tug (EDDY Tug) concept, which aligns azimuthing thrusters, one under the prow and one under the stern, to realise a vessel capable of high-precision manoeuvring and the ability to exert full thrust in any direction.
