The ElectRA tugs, designed by Canadian firm Robert Allan Ltd. and equipped with Corvus Energy marine battery technology, represent a new generation of zero-emission vessels. emission-free vessels.<\/a><\/strong>. This new launch reaffirms BOTA\u015e’s strategy of moving towards sustainable and electrified port operations. <\/p>\n\n

2500SX electric tug features<\/h2>\n\n

The model ElectRA 2500SX<\/a><\/strong>a Sanmar exclusive, has a battery capacity of 5,085 kWh<\/strong>, providing up to 70 tons of fixed-point draft and a maximum speed of 12 knots. Each unit eliminates approximately 1700 tons of CO\u2082 annually, compared to conventional diesel-powered tugs. <\/p>\n\n

In addition to their environmental efficiency, these tugboats incorporate diesel generators<\/a><\/strong> auxiliary generators for emergency and firefighting, maintaining a balance between safety and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n

Design, collaboration and technology<\/h2>\n\n

The collaboration between Sanmar, Robert Allan Ltd. and Corvus Energy has been key to consolidate a product that meets the technical requirements of modern ports and harbors. modern ports<\/a><\/strong>. With a length of 25.4 meters, a beam of 12.8 meters and a draft of 5.8 meters<\/strong>, the ElectRA is prepared for escort duties and complex port maneuvers.<\/p>\n\n

The first of the four tugs was launched on July 5, the second on August 9 and the last is scheduled for later this year. All will operate in key ports in Turkey, providing efficiency, low noise impact and zero direct emissions. <\/p>\n\n

An environmental strategy with tangible impact<\/h2>\n\n

With this new incorporation, Sanmar reinforces its position as a global reference in maritime electrification<\/a><\/strong>. ElectRAs reduce pollutants such as NOX, SOX and particulate matter. In addition, their silent operation reduces noise pollution, benefiting marine ecosystems and coastal communities. <\/p>\n\n

Sanmar’s president, Cem Seven, stressed that each ElectRA unit will have “a direct positive impact on the environment in which it operates<\/em>,” aligning with global decarbonization goals.<\/p>\n\n

Currently, ElectRA tugs are also operating in ports in Europe, North America and Latin America. Sanmar has already delivered nine electric units<\/strong> and has another six under construction, including the four destined for BOTA\u015e.<\/p>\n\n
