       Sanmar船厂报告称，已经按时交付了另一艘新的拖轮到拉脱维亚（Latvia），该船现已加入位于文茨皮尔斯港（port of Ventspils）的AS PKL Flote船队。

 

       该艘新交付的拖轮是由罗伯特·艾伦有限公司（Robert Allan Ltd.）设计，为Ramparts 2200 Class 50t BP ASD拖轮，是Sanmar同系列的第八艘。该船原名为“Sirapinar VIII”号，后来AS PKL Flote将其重新命名为“Altair”号。Sanmar目前正在建造该系列的第18艘姊妹船。

 

       AS PKL Flote的主席Sergejs Odincovs表示：“Sanmar造船厂的Sirapinar系列拖船之所以在土耳其和欧洲的其他主要造船厂中脱颖而出被我们选中，是因为其技术性好、质量高以及价格合理，三者综合最佳。在投标期间，Sanmar的商业和技术团队提出了很好的解决方案，这些方案非常灵活，并迅速适应了我们的要求……虽然时间很紧(只有8个月)，但所有阶段都按计划完成了。”

 

       Sanmar船厂的商务主管Ruchan Civgin表示，“Altair”号船体已经经过抗冰加固处理，能够在结冰条件下工作。

 

       该船将在文茨皮尔斯港作业，该港口是波罗的海东海岸的一个深水港，连通俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的货物运输，包括化肥、钾盐、煤炭、谷物、杂货和滚装货物等。该港口年吞吐量约2000万吨。该不冻港的技术能力使其可以全年为进入波罗的海的最大船只提供服务。

 

       港口员工表示：“这艘拖船符合我们的期望。其小巧的尺寸、优良的操纵性和强劲的动力正是我们港口需要的。”他们对新船的印象描述为就像拥有了一辆崭新的豪华轿车，该车设计精巧、材质优良，且其高质量的配置处处都体现着对细节的注重。

 

       PKL Flote隶属Alfons Hakans集团，是一家拉脱维亚的拖船公司，专门从事拉脱维亚里加港（ports of Riga）和文茨皮斯港的港口和海上拖航。PKL Flote 拥有6艘现代化动力强劲的ASD全回旋拖轮，整个集团拥有和运营着50多艘拖轮、驳船和工作船。除了核心拖船服务外，PKL船队还提供破冰、灭火、运送人员和小型货物以及紧急服务。

Sanmar Delivers Tug to Latvia's Port of Ventspils

 

Sanmar Shipyards reports it has delivered another new tug to Latvia on schedule, to join the AS PKL Flote fleet in the port of Ventspils.

 

The latest delivery is a Robert Allan Ltd. designed Ramparts 2200 Class 50t BP ASD tug, the eighth of the series from Sanmar. Originally named Sirapinar VIII, AS PKL Flote has renamed her Altair. Sanmar is currently building the 18th sister of the series.

 

Sergejs Odincovs, Chairman of the AS PKL Flote, said, “Sanmar Shipyards’ tugboat series Sirapinar was chosen, among other leading Turkish and European shipbuilders, as the best combination of technical characteristics, high quality and reasonable price. During the tender Sanmar’s commercial and technical team suggested good solutions which were very flexible and quickly adapted to our wishes . . . The schedule was very tight (8 months only) but all stages were completed on schedule.” 

 

Ruchan Civgin, Commercial Director of Sanmar Shipyards, said Altair’s hull has been ice-strengthened to enable operations in icy conditions.

 

The vessel will operate in the port of Ventspils, a deep-water port on the East coast of the Baltic Sea that connects transiting Russian and Belarus cargoes, such as fertilizers, potassium salt, coal, grain, general cargo, ro-ro and others. The annual throughput of the port is around 20 million tons. The technical capabilities of the ice-free port allow to service the largest vessels entering the Baltic Sea all year round.

 

“The tug has met all our expectations. Compact size, good maneuverability in combination with enough power makes it ideal for our port,” the crew said. They describe their first impression as like having a new luxury car – smart design, good materials, and quality of outfit with attention to detail.

 

PKL Flote, a member of the Alfons Hakans Group, is a Latvian tugboat company which specializes in harbor and sea towage in the Latvian ports of Riga and Ventspils. PKL Flote has six modern and powerful ASD tugs and the entire group owns and operates more than 50 tugboats, barges and workboats. In addition to core tugboat services, the PKL fleet is used for icebreaking, firefighting, transporting people and small cargoes and for emergency services.
