Tugboats
Harbour tugs
Power, versatility, and sustainability for every port
At SYM Naval, we design harbor tugboats that combine innovation and sustainable performance. Our vessels are tailored to the specific needs of each operation, ensuring efficiency and exceptional support in any port.
Tugboats for port use
Types of Motorization
At SYM Naval we develop motorization systems for tugboats that respond to the current demands of the port sector. Our range of propulsion options for tugboats combines technological innovation with operational efficiency, offering solutions adapted to each type of port operation.
Electric tugboat
Electric tugboats represent the cutting edge of port sustainability. With zero emissions and silent operation, these port tugs are ideal for urban terminals and ports with strict environmental regulations. Electric motorization ensures efficient operation with minimal environmental impact.
Hybrid tugboat
Hybrid motorization combines efficiency and sustainability in port operations. By integrating diesel engines and electric systems, it allows adapting to different operating scenarios with flexibility and fuel consumption optimization. This combination allows for reduced emissions in low-speed operations and improved performance in high-demanding tasks.
Diesel tugboat
Diesel systems stand out for their reliability and high performance in port operations. Responsive and fuel-efficient, they are ideal for demanding tasks. Their power makes them perfect for tugboats in environments with fewer environmental restrictions.
Propulsion systems
Propulsion systems are critical in determining the performance and maneuverability of a tug. At SYM Naval, we offer two advanced propulsion technologies, each designed to optimize different types of port operations.
Conventional shaft and propeller drive
The traditional propulsion system for tugboats, renowned for its reliability and efficiency. Its robust and proven design is ideal for standard port maneuvers, offering:
- Low maintenance and high durability
- Excellent performance in regular operations
- Ideal for medium capacity tugs
- Optimized operating costs
- Ease of maintenance and repair
Azimuthal propulsion for tugboats
Advanced propulsion system that allows a complete 360-degree rotation, providing:
- Maximum maneuverability in tight spaces
- Precise control in complex operations
- Omnidirectional motion capability
- Superior energy efficiency
- Ideal for precision maneuvering with large vessels
Harbor tugboats: compact and efficient
SYM Naval harbor tugboats are designed for medium-intensity port operations, making them the optimal solution for maneuvering medium-sized vessels and auxiliary tasks. These compact tugboats combine power and maneuverability, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
Compactness
Specifically designed to operate in tight port spaces, these tugboats offer exceptional maneuverability for precise operations.
Versatility
Available with traditional shaft and propeller propulsion or an azimuth system, adapting to the specific requirements of each port operation.
Sustainability
They incorporate electric propulsion options, reducing the environmental footprint while maintaining high operational performance.
Speed
Up to 12 knots, ensuring a quick response in all port operations.
