DESIGN
Naval Engineering & Design Ltd, Poland according to design No. B 845
The vessel delivered to the Owner in March 2007 was named Centaur II. It is one of the most active tug boats belonging to the fleet of the Owner and has received many compliments from the crew and the Client because of its parameters and abilities. The vessel is used to carry out the tug services for cargo ships inside and outside the port. It includes assistance, towing, piloting and all other tasks assigned for these types of vessels. Design and workshop drawings of the vessel project No B 845 were made by the Naval Engineering & Design Ltd. belonging to REMONTOWA Group.
The tug boat represents state-of-the-art technology and complies with PRS notation KM II L3 TUG. The hull of the vessel was reinforced to meet ice class L3 requirements for tug boats operating in the Baltic Sea. The project is a tailor made one especially prepared to fulfil requirements of the harbour and sea going tug boats.
The vessel is powered by two CAT main engines — each 1425 kW, and two SCHOTTEL rudder propellers both giving a 45 ton bollard pull and 13.3 knots speed. The vessel's electric network is supplied by two 100 ekW generator sets. One of the most attractive characteristics of this tug boat is that, she achieves the same bollard pull when pulling astern as ahead. This is a result of specially designed hull form. In addition, the tug boat is equipped with a 50 tons MAMPAEY towing hook for towing operation mainly in harbour and also at sea. The harbour tug is equipped with two towing bitts and two towing winches with 150KN pulling force in aft and fore part of the vessel which are used mostly at sea.
For heating operation a 100 kW oil burned boiler is assembled to heat up the sanitary water and other systems. Additional feature of the vessel is an External Fire Fighting System capable of 250 m3/hr water-foam spray from a monitor assembled on the wheelhouse top. Also a water curtain is arranged on decks. All main systems are controlled locally and remotely from wheelhouse. Alarm and monitoring of all machinery is installed with two work stations on control desk in wheelhouse as well as in the machinery room.
