Four tugs delivered for Svitzer LNG terminal support contract
Cheoy Lee Shipyards has delivered four 29-m escort tugs to Svitzer to support LNG carriers unloading at the Batangas Bay terminal run by FGEN LNG Corp in the Phillipines
Hin Lee Shipyard built the vessels to Robert Allan Ltd’s RAstar design with 75 tonnes of bollard pull, an overall length of 29 m and a beam of 13 m.
Svitzer Aplaya was the first completed and mobilised to the LNG import terminal and was followed by sister vessels Svitzer Santa Clara, Svitzer Karsada and Svitzer Bolbok.
According to automatic identification system data, all four are sailing under the flag of St Vincent and the Grenadines in Batangas Bay, Philippines.
These tugboats have Ibercisa escort winches, Furuno radar and a FiFi1 class fire-fighting system, with two monitors supplied by Fire Fighting Systems.
Svitzer ordered four new tugs for operations at the terminal in 2021 after it gained a 10-year contract from FGEN LNG, a subsidiary of First Gen Corp.
In October 2022, Choey Lee sent 24-m, RAmparts 2400W design tugboat PSA Tallan, for sea trials, including using its FiFi1 fire-fighting system, before its delivery to PSA Marine and transit to operate in Peru.
According to MarineTraffic AIS, this 264-gt tug arrived in Callao, near Lima, Peru 19 January 2023.
