How The LNG Tugboat Benefits Companies With Sea Operations

Tugboats were invented in England in 1736

The first tugboats had Newcomen steam engines

This has not changed over the years

However, tugboats now possess the same great hauling power with more efficiency

A Brief Overview of Tugboats…

The new liquid natural gas-powered (LNG) tugboats are highly gas-efficient and have maximum maneurverability

They run on natural gas making them very eco-friendly

Unlike other non-renewable resources, natural gas offers a combination of power and efficiency

What are LNG Tugboats?

Due to natural gas’s clean burn and power potential, response time of LNG tugboats is increased

Companies will benefit from higher response time and better gas-effiency

Response time is important because it dictates how fast a tug responds to its operator’s commands

This can be crucial in emergency situations when a tug needs to pull away from an off-course ship

LNG Tugboats Offer Increased Response Time

LNG tugboats have powerful engines with greater efficiency than other tugboats

The LNG tugboat can haul everything its counterparts can while saving precious resources

In the long-term it will save money and resources for the company while preserving the environment for all

LNG Tugboats Have Powerful Engines With 20% Greater Thrust Efficiency

Less byproducts means less pollution, in and outside of the tug

Less pollution outside of the tug preserves the outdoor environment

Less pollution inside of the tug betters the lives of the tug’s operators

This will help create a cleaner workplace, allows tugboats to operate more efficiently, and helps to make the company overall more efficient

LNG Tugboats Produce Less Byproducts
