The Ports' location combined with an efficient road infrastructure and a good logistics system makes the Port a natural turntable for transport and maritime service. The Port has daily / weekly ferry connections to Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. The Port has per year averaging 3500 vessel calls of which the larger units, ro-ro-, ferries and other vessels with large wind areas, often requires tug assistance when berthing and unberthing. The prevailing method of assistance is push- and push/pull operations all during movement of the assisted vessel. The infrastructure of the Port is in some location restricting the navigation thus limiting the size of the tug. The tug will be used on basis 24/7/365 during all conditions related to the Danish/Scandinavian climate, air temperature usually ranging from -20° to +35° Celsius and the wind speed is ten percent of the time exceeding 14 meter per second. ************************************************** In order to meet the needs of the contracting entity, the tugboat offered must, amongst other things, meet the following requirements: - The keel laying date of the offered tug must be from Jan 1st 2018 or later. - The maximum loa of the offered tug to be 16-20 mtr. - The minimum beam of the offered tug to be 8-10 mtr.
