New Ship-Assist And

Towing Tug For Turkey

In April 1998, Sanmar

Denizcilik Makina ve Ticaret

Ltd. of Istanbul, Turkey added

Doganpay, a new twin-screw tug to its existing fleet.

The tug was designed by Robert

Allen Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada, based on other successful twin- screw designs.

The vessel is designed to pro- vide ship docking services as well as emergency deep sea towage in the Mediterranean and Black

Seas, with the intention to pro- vide a highly versatile tug for a range of different tasks.

Emphasis was placed on very high maneuverability as well as good directional stability.

Dogangay's steel construction and other manufacturing and installation work was performed by Sanmar's own shipbuilding crew, using facilities at Sahin

Celik Shipyard of Istanbul.

On trials the vessel performed with a continuous bollard pull of 40 tons, and a maximum free running speed of 13.2 knots.

Searchlight Norselight the modular principle by the yard itself, indicative of the company's latent shipbuilding possibilities.

Gemak's compact, but well laid- out site includes a 20-ton per day steelworking output capability for shiprepair and renewal purposes, and quayage for alongside repairs to vessels up to about 160,000-dwt.

Illustrative of its scope in the con- version sector, it undertook the steel-intensive readaptation of the 25,400-dwt bulker Nazli K into a self-discharging cement carrier.

The yard also attracted a contract this year to modify a 55-m tug for the towage of special fresh water containment units between Turkey and northern Cyprus.

As was also the case in

Scandinavia in past years, for instance, a number of privately- owned Turkish organizations span shipbuilding as well as shipping

TM Don't Worry. They use an Owens Kleen Tank.
