There has been no change of name - it is still SL MURRUMBIDGEE, just altered by some overzealous Svitzerite with a paintbrush who took it upon himself to obliterate the SL. Similarly PB MURRAY & PB DARLING at Newcastle were also altered for a time but again show the PB after recent dockings.

Not so good advertising for the Svitzer staff that approved the acquisition.

Sir, with respect, do you have trouble in general with the English language, or is it simple comprehension? The headline for your #19 posting of the (6/2014) Damen press release reads “ Damen, MTU and Svitzer will launch the world’s first RSD CNG tug in 2016 ". I don’t know what parallel universe yo...

Here we go again - the propulsors are not Z-Pellers - a registered Niigata trademark. The installed units are Ulstein 1650 ‘z-drives’.

SVITZER WARREGO is following, due Newcastle NSW on 1/1/2015.

My error was naming Sinke, when I meant van Damme which I have corrected. And, as previously stated, it has the usual Caterpillar machinery of a standard Damen ATD2412 twin-fin tractor, plus Fi-Fi 1 qualification.

If you copied the supposed details from Piet van Damme, as you usually do, he’s wrong too. The tug is Fi-Fi 1, with the starboard side funnel uptakes of similar size - the second is for the fire pump, whereas the port side has the usual one/large, one/small pipe exhausts.

Twaddle ! The tug is not gas fired, it has the regular Caterpillar machinery.

You persist in erroneously nominating most Z-drives as Z-PELLER, which is a registered Niigata trademark. This vessel has Schottel SRP 1215 directional propellers & nozzles, which are NOT Z-Pellers.

NB : Svitzer has nothing to do with the firm Bowen Tug & Barge Pty Ltd. The Svitzer associate is Bowen Towage Services Pty Ltd, who owned and operated the tugs GLOUCESTER and DENISON with a mining company between 1983-2013. Svitzer acquired the tug (OTTO ASSMAN exRODDS BAY, registered Sydney NSW) in...

Never at any time owned by Adsteam and/or Svitzer - it was an Adsteam charter, Singapore flag and owned by Chuan Hup, working off Barrow Island circa 2004 on exploratory coring for the Gorgon project.

Yes, but how many have you plundered from other websites (eg: TugTalk and Shipspotting) without seeking permission ?

This is a 18.6m multicat type dredge tender, said to be built in 1974 by Damen. It was imported into NW-Australia by either Van Oord or Jan de Nul, I'd suggest, and is now owned by Bhagwan Marine of Karratha WA.
