Tolkamer 23/01/2019 – We are proud to announce that our yard number NB.482, the tugboat ‘Karasay Batyr’ has won the title of ‘Best ice class tug 2018’. The award was organized by Work Boat World, an Australian Maritime magazine. After a year of reviews of vessels worldwide, the winners were selected by a mixture of innovation, styling, finish and build quality.
‘Karasay Batyr’ was part of a six ship order from Caspian Offshore Constructions from Kazakhstan. For this client, De Hoop build two ‘Shallow draft harbor tugs’ with a 30-Ton bollard pull, and four ‘tug-push boats’ with 39-Ton bollard pull each. All six vessels were delivered between March and June of 2018.
