MED MARINE has marked another milestone in the continued expansion of the YAKAMOZ fleet. Sister tugboats MED GEMLIK and MED ALIAGA, both based on the RAstar 2500-W design, were delivered from MED MARINE’s EREGLI SHIPYARD in mid-September and have now joined the YAKAMOZ fleet.
Following the recent delivery of MED CEYHAN and MED ISKENDERUN, also built at EREGLI SHIPYARD, the YAKAMOZ fleet continues to grow with the addition of MED GEMLIK and MED ALIAGA. Sharing the same RAstar 2500-W design, the two tugboats will become an important part of YAKAMOZ’s modern fleet, offering a high level of operational capability. Built at EREGLI SHIPYARD with MED MARINE’s engineering and shipbuilding expertise, MED GEMLIK and MED ALIAGA are designed to perform a wide range of demanding harbour operations, with 65 tonnes of bollard pull and accommodation for a crew of eight.
Combining high towing power with precise manoeuvrability, the tugboats are also equipped to meet Class FiFi requirements, providing firefighting capability alongside their core towing and harbour duties. This capability also enables them to provide effective support during emergency response and rescue operations. With their powerful propulsion systems and versatile operational capabilities, MED GEMLIK and MED ALIAGA will further strengthen YAKAMOZ’s ability to provide safe and reliable services at sea.
With MED GEMLIK and MED ALIAGA entering service following MED CEYHAN and MED ISKENDERUN, YAKAMOZ continues to steadily expand its fleet in line with common design principles and operational standards. The four sister tugboats of the RAstar 3200-W series will form an important part of YAKAMOZ’s journey towards building a strong, modern and reliable tugboat fleet. MED MARINE, meanwhile, continues to contribute to the development of the YAKAMOZ fleet through the high-standard shipbuilding capabilities of its EREGLI SHIPYARD and its long-standing experience in tugboat operations.
