Ports of Auckland has agreed a deal with Damen Shipyards to acquire the world’s first fully-electric port tug. The Damen RSD-E Tug 2513, which is designed for normal port operations, is scheduled for delivery in 2021. However, we are prepared to wear that up-front cost because our commitment to reduce emissions has to be more than just words. The Port of Auckland’s new harbour tug, the Damen RSD E, will be delivered by Damen’s sister company Damen Marine on board its own ship MV “Sea Breeze” from 2021 onwards.
