Despite their small size, tugs have very powerful engines due to the effort they have to sustain and a very robust structure that allows them to face even prohibitive sea conditions. The tug is one of the most important and widespread boats for naval operations.
The fixed extinguishing systems on board are designed to meet the needs of fire safety according to the various types of rooms of the boat (accommodations, engine room, etc.) and the possible fire scenarios in accordance with the specific regulations established for each type of ship and its intended use (type of cargo and navigation).
In fact, fire protection on board is carried out using detection, extinguishing and structural containment systems as well as non-combustible materials. Among the customers who have chosen our services there is Rimorchiatori Riuniti Spa, a world leader in the sector with its own 120 units.
