ASD Tugs
Times are changing. Ships are getting larger, while ports and infrastructure remains the same. Damen’s ASD Tug range is designed as an answer to this challenge. With optimised towing positions and compactness, they are able to manoeuvre in the tightest of spaces.
Damen Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) Tugs embody a mix of new designs and proven technologies, placing the future on a solid foundation in port or at sea. Our offer combines safety and sustainability with efficiency, reliability and high value over the vessel’s lifecycle.
Compact versatility
A vessel you can trust
The Damen ASD Tugs have excellent working and sailing ability. ASD Tugs are cost effective tools for handling container and bulk carriers in harbours and at terminals. The ASD Tug is compact and powerful, has a low cost price and is a very reliable, proven product.
Multi-purpose tugs
ASD Tugs are designed for push-pull, harbour assisting and escort towing operations up to 150 tons towline forces as well as fire-fighting, salvage, oil pollution, hose handling and anchor handling operations.
The versatile ship-handling tool
Damen’s ASD Tug range is designed for burden-free ownership, being both easy to maintain and low maintenance. It’s future ready too, being prepared for IMO Tier III regulations.
Standardisation – key to success
Although our tugs are based on a standard design, they can be equipped with a large range of options to meet specific customer requirements. Our standard designs can be tailor-made according to customer wishes or we can of course, start from scratch to design a unique vessel.
Connect vessel technology
Damen ASD Tugs are able to benefit from Damen Triton – our connected vessel platform. Sensors gather information from around the vessel, giving you insights into your operation that can lead to preventive maintenance and optimally efficient sailing.
