RAstar 3400

This Specification describes the general requirements of a new

Class of high-performance terminal support and escort tug
designated as the RAstar3400 design.
RAstar Class tugs have been developed to offer truly superior
ship-handling and sea keeping performance at exposed
terminal locations, docking and escorting ships in more extreme
sea-states than is the norm. The unique sponsoned hull form
provides proven dramatic reductions in roll amplitude and
accelerations, in comparison to more conventional hull forms.
RAstar Class tugs are of robust, all-welded steel construction,
with scantlings in excess of the minimums of Classification
Society design rules.
The tugs support an expansion of LNG facilities at Ports. The
tugs are to assist very large ships in berthing and departing from
berths, and to escort these ships through a narrow channel which
experiences extreme weather conditions, with wave heights up to
3 metres and wind speeds of over 40 knots. Due to these extreme
operating conditions, special attention has been paid to vessel
design and in particular the bow fendering and towing equipment.
The RAstar3400 is intended as a dedicated terminal and harbour
support tug, working off a forward towing winch, but can also
be equipped for coastal towing and offshore emergency towing
with heavy duty towing winch and towpins aft.
The tugs are fully outfitted for safe and efficient performance of
the following tasks:
External fire-fighting including waterspray and Fi-Fi 1
Oil spill response/oil recovery (some necessary equipment
shall be provided by Owner)
These tugs are equipped with automation and instrumentation for
normal duty operations with a minimum crew, and a periodically
unmanned engine room.
