General – Marine Services
KOTUG from Rotterdam has been awarded a contract for ENI Congo to deliver critical marine services for the Congo LNG project.
This significant project, situated offshore the Republic of Congo, includes the Tango FLNG and the Excalibur Floating Storage Unit (FSU), with a second FLNG currently under construction.
Under the terms of the contract, KOTUG will deploy three powerful Rotortugs to support a range of operations, including mooring and unmooring of vessels, handling mooring equipment, providing stand-by services, transporting pilots, and offering antipollution, oilfield goods, and passenger transport services.
The Rotortug, with its patented triangular propulsion design, ensures enhanced safety and highly accurate manoeuvring. Each tug delivers over 80 tons of Bollard Pull and features a unique propulsion configuration consisting of three thrusters, which provide a high level of redundancy, cost savings, and faster handling under all circumstances.
