Tugboats Aleut and Khasan are shifted to the seaport of Posyet

Project 90600 tug-boats Aleut and Khasan built by the FSUE “Rosmorport” order were shifted from the seaport of Vladivostok to the seaport of Posyet to implement towage operations concerning large-capacity vessel mooring in the seaport. The tug-boats were shifted after the procedure of accepting the tugs under the economic control of FSUE “Rosmorport” Vladivostok branch and arranging the tug commissioning.

After the implementation of works and measures for safety navigation in the seaport of Posyet and on the approaches in the night-time, provision of towage services in the seaport is planned to be implemented on the round-o-clock basis.

Following the results of 2010 the FSUE “Rosmorport” has implemented 350 tugging operations in the seaport of Posyet.
