ASD Tug 3212 "Svitzer Glenrock"

Damen Shipyards Group has delivered an ASD Tug 3212 as the second part of a two-vessel order placed by Svitzer Australia. Named the Svitzer Glenrock, the tug arrived at Newcastle, NSW, on its own keel from Damen Song Cam Shipyard, Vietnam. The tug will work in the world’s busiest coal port, moving bulk carriers and petroleum tankers around the harbor. Due to Damen’s policy of building its most popular vessels for stock, the vessel was delivered within four months of the contract being signed. The Svitzer Glenrock is fitted with a render recovery forward winch, which ensures the line always remains under a safe tension, even when sailing in large waves. This enhances her capability to undertake active-escort duties for the large carriers and petroleum tankers, safely under all circumstances.
