Italy's Vittoria Shipyard has delivered the tugboat Cap de Fer (Yard No. No C 869) to the Skikda, Algeria, port authority (Entreprise Portuaire de Skikda).
Delivery of Cap de Fer marks Vittoria Shipyard's renewed role as a player in the domestic and international market for harbor and coastal tugs. In recent years, the yard has specialized in military and paramilitary vessels, work boats and passenger vessels.
Cap de Fer has an overall length of 26 m, width of 10 m, draft of 3.80 m and displaces 500 tonnes fully laden. It has a bollard pull of 42 tonnes thanks to two ASD azimuth thrusters driven by two diesel engines that can develop a total of 3,300 horsepower and give it a top speed of 12.5 knots. These are features that make the vessel well suited for carrying out harbor and coastal tug work, both towing and pushing, and in providing energency assistance and response.
The vessel has accommodations and services for a crew of seven and is classed by Bureau Veritas.
