Developments
KST has improved the Rotor Tug, holding meetings with potential clients, tugboat crews and naval architects, where every small design detail is reviewed. Meanwhile, one is busy looking for opportunities to exploit the tug's innovatory features in new markets.
ART110-37
This Escort Rotor tug design will have such a high performance and versatility that she will be unique in her market. She can be utilized for all the tasks required of such a tug f.i. supporting modern LNG Terminals. Oil Terminals and other operations where the Escort capability will be required including Oil recovery and Pollution control, Firefighting etc.

The hull form for the ART110-37 E basically derived from the existing Rotor ® tugs. In order to achieve a desired maximum trial speed of 15 knots several actions are taken: the lines plan is partially adjusted, a specially designed bulbous bow is installed and the docking stools will be removable or not installed. The hull form is characterized by sharp bilges and straight frames. The rise of floor allows sideways movements. Parallel skegs will be fitted for directional stability.

In order to control the breaking forces and steering capacities of the tug much better whilst performing escort services KST has developed an innovative feature to assure this. A special winch configuration is used to enhance the course stability of the tug and a so called retractable skeg for controlled escorting will be installed.All these features were tested in the facilities of Force Danmark and proven results are far above expectations, namely the achieved steering force of not less than 160 tons by 10 knots speed in the indirect mode makes her the escort tug of the future.
The vessel is suited to accommodate a crew of 8 (+3) persons. |
The Vessel is designed to obtain at least the following notation + 1A1,Tug, EO, Ice C, SF, OILREC, FiFi 1, Escort (150/10)
