Med Marine launches another newbuild Svitzer tug for Panama – video

Turkish shipbuilder and tugboat operator Med Marine has announced the launch of a TRAktor 2600-Z tugboat for Danish-headquartered towage company Svitzer.

The shipbuilder states that this is the second TRAktor 2600-Z tugboat built for global maritime operator Svitzer, launched at Med Marine’s Eregli Shipyard, with the first tugboat of the same series launched on May 13.

Both vessels are slated to join Panama’s dynamic marine environment in 2025.

“Measuring 25.9 meters in length and offering an impressive 65 tons of bollard pull, these compact powerhouses are expertly designed to meet the rigorous demands of tanker, bulk carrier, and containership handling,” says Med Marine in its statement.

Med Marine has completed the construction and delivery of over 200 projects, including tugboats, chemical/oil tankers, mooring and pilot boats.
