58M AHTS Vessel

MEP’s 58m AHTS Vessel has a higher degree of out-fittings that are hard to find on other AHTS. Unlike most tugs built in China, over 90% of the vessel’s equipment comes from G8 countries, thus making it more superior in terms of long term performance.

1) Azimuth steerable nozzled propellers
2) Joy stick configured control
3) IBS control
4) Mini M
5) Differential GPS
6) Auto telephone exchange
7) Medium speed engines with lower noise signature
8) Plate coolers for main machinery
9) Remote sounding of all tanks
10) Auto synchronisation of power generators
11) FW maker

The above superior equipments installed equates to an extended work capability normally not associated with AHTS including the prospect of conversion to DP notation and easy adoption as a geophysical survey vessel. Therefore, the owner of this band new vessel will enjoy a higher market potential not limited to only anchor handling and supply operations.
