Ship Photos of the Day – Long-Haul Ocean Towing
On October twenty fourth, the Netherlands-flagged ALP Centre efficiently delivered the semi-submersible drilling rig Songa Equinox to Bergen, Norway virtually 4 months after departing Geoje, South Korea.
ALP Centre, with 300 tonnes Bollard Pull and enormous gasoline capability, is an AHTS specifically designed for the lengthy distance towing, positioning, mooring and hook-up market.
APL Centre is now owned by Teekay Corporation after Teekay aquired Netherlands-based ALP Maritime Services in 2014. As a part of the transaction, Teekay and ALP ordered 4 state-of-the-art towing and anchor dealing with vessel newbuild tugs.
