COMPLETING THE SERIES: MED MARINE LAUNCHES THE SIXTH AND FINAL RAmparts 2800 TUG FOR OMMP
MED MARINE has launched the sixth and final RAmparts 2800 series ASD tugboat constructed under the six-vessel fleet programme for Tunisia’s Office de la Marine Marchande et des Ports (OMMP). Held at MED MARINE’s EREGLI SHIPYARD in late November, the launch marks the concluding phase of this strategically planned series.
Measuring 28 metres in length and delivering a 60-tonne bollard pull, the vessel is built to reflect the precision, reliability, and robust performance associated with Robert Allan Ltd.’s RAmparts design. Fully compliant with Class FIFI-E requirements and powered by twin medium-speed diesel engines, the tug is engineered for dependable operation in demanding harbour conditions.
Its refined hull form delivers excellent manoeuvrability, stability, and energy efficiency, enabling seamless performance across towing, mooring, escorting, firefighting, pollution control, and coastal assistance tasks. The vessel continues MED MARINE’s approach to creating versatile, operator-focused maritime solutions.
The launch concludes the six-vessel RAmparts 2800 programme, underscoring MED MARINE’s consistent project execution and OMMP’s commitment to strengthening Tunisia’s port capabilities with modern, high-performance assets.
