With effect from November 1st, 2015 KOTUG Asia Sdn. Bhd. commenced towage activities with its powerful Rotortugs in the port of Tanjung Pelapas (PTP) Malaysia.
KOTUG Asia started its operations with two powerful 65 tons bollard pull Rotortugs, RT Claire and RT Stéphanie in PTP delivering innovative, efficient and safe 24/7 operations supported by local Malaysian management and experienced crew. KOTUG Asia is able to rapidly expand its fleet with more powerful tugboats.
The revolutionary Rotortug®, pioneered by KOTUG, features three separate azimuth propulsion units to provide improved vessel safety, power and unmatched manoeuvrability. This enables the Rotortug to reduce turn-around time, fuel consumption and often results in less tugs needed per ship assistance.
As a sustainable towage operator and tug owner, KOTUG Asia will be engaged in Malaysian harbour and terminal towage, coastal & deep sea towage, emergency response & salvage operations, assistance to offshore, ship to ship operation services and the provision of training in relation to the crew on maritime craft.
