Singapore-based harbour and terminal towage operator PSA Marine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSA International, has received delivery of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual fuelled harbour tug PSA Aspen, it said in a LinkedIn update.
The 28-metre long, 50-tonne bollard pull harbour tug was built at the PaxOcean Shipyard and uses design and technology provided by Wartsila.
It operates on two Wartsila 20DF dual-fuel engines running primarily on LNG fuel supported by a LNGPac fuel storage and supply system.
PSA Marine received a grant of up to SGD$2 million ($1.48 million) from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) under the LNG Bunkering (Pilot Programme) to build the vessel.
