Rotortug - 1999 Onwards: An Insight Into Owning, Operating and Maintaining Rt Adriaan, Europe's First True Hybrid Tugboat

By M.J. Gaston

Diminutive but amazingly powerful, the Rotor Tug is capable of maneuvering a 1,000ft-long, 250,000-ton bulk carrier in and out of harbor. Thanks to its revolutionary propulsion system, the Rotor Tug is blessed with spectacular agility, a high rate of turn, and the ability to move rapidly sideways and exert a high proportion of its 75-ton bollard pull in any direction. Published with the full cooperation of Kotug/Rotor Tug BV, originators of the Rotor Tug, author M.J. (Jack) Gaston gives unique insights into the design, build, and operation of this revolutionary vessel.
