'Multratug 36' belongs to a series of two tugs ordered by Multraship in June 2023 to perform deep-sea and coastal towage, salvage, and other operations. Like its earlier sister 'Multratug 35', the newbuild has a length of 32.7 metres (107 feet), a beam of 12.82 metres (42.06 feet), a maximum draught of 6.2 metres (20 feet), a gross tonnage of 450, and IMO Tier III engines fitted with NOx reduction systems. The tug is also outfitted for firefighting, anchor handling, and other offshore operations. The accommodation spaces for the 10-strong crew have been enhanced with additional insulation and are rubberised to provide greater comfort. The accommodation includes two one-person cabins, four two-person cabins, a mess, and a galley. Full article link in comments.
