Edge entity Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), the UAE’s leader in the design, new build, repair and maintenance of naval and commercial vessels, is building two 28-metre vessels for Adnoc Logistics and Services (Adnoc L&S).
The order for these vessels further strengthens the relationship between Adnoc L&S, a global energy maritime logistics leader, and ADSB in the strategically important commercial vessel building sector, allowing greater contribution to in-country value.
The vessels are each powered by two diesel engines coupled with two Z-drive Azimuth thrusters. This configuration allows them to achieve a speed of 12 knots and a bollard pull of 60 tonnes. Each has a crew complement of eight and will be used primarily for ship assistance and harbour towing, as well as for firefighting and coastal towing.--TradeArabia News Service
