Tug delivery: From China to Peru

A 26.5-metre Z-drive tug was recently delivered from the Jiangsu Wuxi Shipyard, China, to its Peruvian owner, Trabajos Maritimos.

The new tug is powered by a pair of Cummins QSK60 engines each delivering 1,640kW at 1,800rpm to HRP Model 7111 WM (P3) azimuthing drives with 6.681:1 reduction.

The tug is designed with the forward hawser winch typical of modern docking tugs. A pair of Cummins 6BT5.9DM powered gensets each provide 100kW of electrical power while a smaller 38kW set for harbour service is powered by a Cummins 4BT3.9DM genset.
