Nadia Omelchuk, a preproduction engineer, was the vessel’s godmother and traditionally broke the Champagne bottles on the vessel’s hull; the vessel was then launched in the usual way.Having launched the vessel, the specialists have started outfitting works, in particular the installation of the main engines by Scania (Sweden) and the rudder propellers by DTG Propulsion BV  (the Netherlands).The T410 project tug is used for pushing non-self-propelled vessels with a deadweight of up to 3 thousand tons, forming barge convoys, carrying out mooring operations as well as cargo trips in shallow waters, servicing non-self-propelled machinery and other floating equipment. The vessel’s main dimensions are as follows: length overall – 15.45 m, breadth – 6.70 m, depth – 1.85 m, draught – 1.20 m, loaded displacement – 80 t, speed – 5-7 knots. The deck and mooring equipment comprises an anchor-mooring winch, a manual capstan, a quick release towing hook, a deck manual boat crane, hydraulic coupling winches, and other equipment.   We would like to mention that the hydraulic coupling winches are installed only on the T410 project tugs. The winches automatically maintain continuous load on the ropes on both sides, thereby increasing the service life of the coupling ropes. A vertically movable wheelhouse with 360 degree visibility also contributes to its efficient operation. The wheelhouse can be raised or lowered up to 2.4 m within 180 seconds, thereby increasing the visibility range and visible horizon. These design solutions guarantee navigation safety.We would remind you that NIBULON’s shipbuilders launched the first T410 project vessel in April 2020.
