First all-electric tug delivered
Sparky | The Damen shipbuilding group’s first all-electric tug has been handed over to Ports of Auckland. The RSD-E Tug 2513, named Sparky, will be capable of handling the largest vessels calling at Ports of Auckland facilities and is an important step in the group’s target of becoming a zero-emissions facility by 2040. The vessel’s design is the result of six years of development work between Damen and the port authority.
