The company has secured its first-ever contract for the supply of 60-ton bollard pull ASD tug. This maiden contract for a 60-ton bollard pull tug signifies not only a step forward in terms of capacity and capability but also highlights the company’s ability to scale its marine segment to meet more complex and demanding requirements. The inclusion of a higher-capacity tug in its fleet reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative and reliable maritime solutions to meet the evolving demands of the industry.

Notably, this is the second contract awarded by V.O. Chidambaranar Port, where the company is already successfully executing an earlier contract for a high-speed patrol boat.
