Gökçay II, the second RApport 1600-SX tug built by Sanmar Shipbuilders, was completed in August, the first vessel of this design being delivered in May. 

The two tugs are identical except the Gökçay II has a more conservative power rating of 600 hp at 1800 rpm for a bollard pull slightly over 16 tonnes.

These simple and economical tugs benefit from the latest design and construction technology for excellent performance and safety.

The particulars of the RApport 1600-SX are:

  • Length overall: 16.3 m
  • Breadth, moulded: 7.4 m
  • Depth, moulded: 3.3 m
  • Draft, navigational: 2.7 m
  • Fuel oil: 15 m3
  • Potable water: 2 m3
  • Crew 3 persons
  • Speed: 11 knots
  • Bollard Pull: 16.4 tonnes
  • Class: Bureau Veritas

The new RApport 1600-SX, designed exclusively for Sanmar Shipbuilders, is a safe, robust, and seaworthy tug ideal for general harbor duties. It meets all international and Class standards for construction and stability. The tugs are built to a very high standard of finish and available for quick delivery with details customized to the owner’s requirements.

With the advent of fuel transition, digitalization, AI and autonomy, innovation in vessel design and operation proceeds at unprecedented speed.
