Neptune Marine will deliver three new Medium Sized Harbour and seagoing Tugs to the Royal Netherlands Navy.

We are proud to announce that Neptune Marine will build three new Medium Sized Harbour and seagoing Tugs for the harbour service of the Royal Netherlands Navy in Den Helder. The contract was officially signed yesterday.

The new vessels will be deployed for towing operations within the naval harbour and will also support fuel supply activities and emergency response situations. In addition they will play an important role in the safe mooring and unmooring of naval vessels.

This assignment confirms the confidence in our knowledge and experience in shipbuilding and maritime services. We look forward to a constructive cooperation with the Defence Materiel and IT Command throughout the construction and delivery of these modern harbour tugboats.

The contract also includes two years of maintenance ensuring continuity and reliability after delivery.

We are proud to contribute with this project to a future ready and modern fleet for the Royal Netherlands Navy.
