The fundamental key considerations we apply in the operation of Marine Articulated Tug Barges are performance and reliability. Thanks to the widespread areas of operation, it is essentially to count with a robust propulsion system that can be able to handle, in an easy way, the scabrous nature of the inland waterways along with the feathery currents of the high seas.
Our company has incorporated a huge amount of design features. This allows the designers, builders and operators of our company to design more reliable ATBs. We want your ATBs to perform their operations with increased efficiency, to carry more payload and to sail safely.
We provide the ATBs we build with tunnel thrusters that count with a 1000 HP range. The thrusters are placed in the bow of the barge with controls in the tug bridge. The control is a high trust fixed pitch propeller on a husky propeller shaft directly coupled to our exclusive podded hydraulic motor, which provides you infinite propeller speed control in both directions of rotation.
