E-KOTUG: Europe' s first hybrid Rotor®Tug

In partnership with Aspin, Kemp and Associates (AKA) the construction of Europe’s first hybrid tugboat has been developed. As from 14 November 2011 Rotor®Tug RT Adriaan, operating in the Port of Rotterdam, is retrofitted with a XeroPoint Hybrid Propulsion System. As from March 6th 2012, this conversion is completed and the first   E-KOTUG rejoined the KOTUG fleet to optimize its hybrid modes. The EKOTUG is the first hybrid tug built under class-certification.
