One of the two mooring boats acquired by Nakilat. The vessels will work on a long-term charter to Qatar Petroleum and will be part of the growing fleet of NSW vessels in the Port of Ras Laffan.
Nakilat has taken delivery of two 16m mooring boats built by Nakilat Damen Shipyards Qatar (NDSQ) for towage operator Nakilat SvitzerWijsmuller (NSW).
The two Stan Tug 1606 mooring boats — Ras Al Allaj Qatar and Al Esaiwed — are the first of a seven-vessel order that NDSQ is currently working on for NSW, a Nakilat spokesman said in a communique to Qatar Stock Exchange.
The vessels will work on a long-term charter to Qatar Petroleum and will be part of the growing fleet of NSW vessels in the Port of Ras Laffan.
NSW already operates a fleet of 25 vessels at Ras Laffan and a further five vessels at Halul Island, performing about 12,500 tug jobs per year in the Port of Ras Laffan.
NDSQ is a joint venture between Nakilat and Dutch shipbuilder Damen and is based at Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard in Ras Laffan, Qatar.
NDSQ began operations in 2010 and builds ships in steel, aluminium and fibber reinforced plastic, up to 170m in length.
NSW is owned 70% by Nakilat and 30% by Svitzer Middle East Ltd. The vessels operated by NSW include tug boats, pilot boats, line boats and crew boats. NSW offers a range of services including towing, escorting, berthing, pilot support, line handling services afloat and ashore, emergency response, and marine maintenance support.
