Given that I wasn't around when the new SD tugs were being planned, can anyone still in the job list what all the new tugs are? Namely bollard pull, ASD or Voith or conventional and any other useful info'.

Many thanks.

The 4 new tugs we got at Faslane, where 2 Damen Stan Tugs 2608, they where twin screw bow thrust, can't remember the bollard pull, where called Sd Mars and Sd Jupiter.

The other 2 where 2909 ATD to replace Nimble and Dexterous, azimuth pods with a 38t bollard pull, nice tugs but very noisy accommodation
