Wärtsilä Unveils New Tug Design

The Finnish group Wärtsilä is introducing a new tug design known as the Wärtsilä HYTug series. Using less engine power decreases exhaust emission levels. Hull designs have been optimised for hull resistance and sailing. The company said that, in the future, new tugs would rely more and more on battery propulsion, which suits today’s operational requirements.
