RiverWijs Takes Delivery of Two LNG Tugboats (Australia)

RiverWijs has recently taken delivery of two sister vessels, the Robert Allan designed – RiverWijs Emma and RiverWijs Rowan.

The christening was performed by the vessel’s sponsors; Ms. Emma Lok and Mrs. Rowan Campbell.

The vessels were constructed at ASL Shipyard, Singapore for operation at the LNG terminal in the Port of Dampier, Australia and represent the 49th and 50th vessels delivered to the Svitzer group of companies by ASL.

They are the latest edition of this venerable design, unique in their shallow draft requirement of 5 meters, specifically for mooring in the tug pen during cyclone season.
