ASD TUG ALTAIR STRENGTHENS PKL FLOTE’S FLEET

Tugboat series “Sirapinar” was chosen due to its combination of technical characteristics and high quality. Tugs compact size, good maneuverability in combination with power makes it ideal for Ventspils port where she mainly will operate. Altair has even been modified by means of ice-strengthening the hull to operate also in icy conditions.
