TUGTECHNOLOGY '23
22 May 2023 - 23 May 2023
08:00 - 18:00
Rotterdam
The industry’s premier technical gathering
TUGTECHNOLOGY ’23 will take place 22 - 23 May in Rotterdam in May. The two-day conference, exhibition and awards alternates on a bi-annual basis with The International Tug & Salvage Conference, Exhibition & Awards, and has been the industry’s must-attend event - in odd rather than even years - since 2007.
TUGTECHNOLOGY last took place in October 2021 in London. The event drew hundreds of tug professionals from around the world and received plaudits for its outstanding presentations, networking and exhibition opportunities as well as the introduction of the inaugural ITS Awards.
Based on extensive research, the conference programme for TUGTECHNOLOGY ’23 is designed to deliver vital insights and clarity on the technological changes and options available to industry as 2030 comes rapidly into the view.
Papers and the technologies discussed at the event will be rooted in the industry’s commercial, operational, regulatory, technical and ESG context. Supply chain considerations and the economics of new technology will be very much in focus.
Among the subjects to be examined at the 2023 event are the decarbonisation challenge facing tug owners and how emissions can be reduced; the challenges companies face training onshore and seagoing personnel to maintain and operate new technology; new types of technology, such as alternative fuels, batteries and electrification options; and safety, which will be examined from the regulatory viewpoint and from the viewpoint of recent industry guidance in areas such as man overboard and preventing man-in-water incidents. As always, there will be a particular focus on new and recently introduced designs and equipment.
Join us in Rotterdam in May to benchmark your current practices and industry knowledge, meet clients, do business and expand your network!
TUGTECHNOLOGY is only open to registered delegates. No visitors will have access to any part of the event.

About TUGTECHNOLOGY
TUGTECHNOLOGY is a two day event consisting of a conference programme, exhibition and gala dinner. It is the industry’s premier technical gathering and takes place on alternate years to the International Tug & Salvage Convention, Exhibition & Awards.
TUGTECHNOLOGY brings together the global tug owning and operating community, the international supply chain and industry associations and regulators for two days of networking, intelligence gathering and deal making in a warm, welcoming and professional setting.
The conference programme is known for its technical range and depth and as a forum at which the latest concepts and advances can be discussed and analysed. Competition to present is intense.
TUGTECHNOLOGY is organised by Riviera Maritime Media, the team behind the ITS conventions and International Tug & Salvage magazine.

Shortlist:
HaiSea Wamis - The first of the Robert Allan Ltd/Sanmar ElectRA 2800-SX series ever built and the most powerful electric tugboat in the world. HaiSea Wamis was built by Sanmar Shipyards as the first of three electric tugs to arrive and operate in the traditional territories of the Haisla First Nation by HaiSea Marine, and as the first tugboat to receive the UWN notation from ABS for underwater noise reduction.
Owner: HaiSea Marine
Builder: Sanmar Shipyards
Designer: Robert Allan Ltd
HB Poraque - The world’s first battery electric shallow-draught pushboat was built by Belov Engenharia Shipyard in Salvador, Brazil to a Robert Allan Ltd design.

Owner: Hidrovias do Brasil
Builder: Belov Engenharia Shipyard
Designer: Robert Allan Ltd
Hydrotug 1 - World’s first hydrogen-powered tugboat with dual-fuel technology. Hydrotug will be operational in one of Europe’s busiest ports, Port of Antwerp-Bruges. CMB.TECH’s Hydrotug will be the first tugboat in the world to be powered by combustion engines that burn hydrogen in combination with traditional fuel. It is the first vessel that uses the BeHydro V12 dual-fuel medium speed engines – each providing 2 MW – with the latest EU Stage V emissions after treatment. By using the dual-fuel medium-speed engines, the vessel uses clean fuels, reducing up to 80% of traditional fuel consumption and associated emissions.
Owner: Port of Antwerp-Bruges
Builder: Armón Shipyards
Designer: CMB.TECH
JMS Sunshine – Singapore’s first LNG battery-hybrid tug is operated by Jurong Marine Services with MTU 16V 4000 series gas engines and Spear Power System’s Trident lithium-ion batteries. This ABS-classed tug has a Schottel Sydrive-E system and hybridised RudderPropellers, type SRP 430, fed by zero-emissions electrical motors and the IMO Tier III-compliant LNG main engines.
Owner: Jurong Marine Services
Builder: Sembcorp Marine
Designer: LMG Marin
Plis Fos – This ASD 2813 tug, with over 85 tonnes of bollard pull, is the first harbour tug with IMO Tier III-compliant propulsion in the Caribbean and in all the French ports. Plis Fos was designed and built by Damen for Somara operating in the port of Fort de France, Martinique. This Bureau Veritas-classed tug has the greatest bollard pull in the Caribbean, from twin Caterpillar 3516C TA HD main diesel engines driving two Kongsberg US 255 azimuth thrusters.
Owner: Somara
Builder and designer: Damen
Taiga - Japan’s first electric-powered tug is providing zero-emissions towage in Tokyo Bay. Its hybrid-electric propulsion system includes high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, generators, direct-current switchboard and grid and Z-Peller azimuth thrusters. IHI Power Systems was system integrator and supplied the azimuth thrusters and diesel generators.
Owner: Tokyo Kisen
Builder: Kanagawa Dockyard
Designer: OSD-IMT/Damen

E-Pusher M (Kotug International)
This is the medium size of the E-Pusher series, with the first completed for Cargill for zero-emissions barge transport between the Port of Amsterdam and Cargill’s factories in Zaandam, the Netherlands. This patented design has a steel/aluminium frame, a PE hull assembly, fully electric drive and ability to switch between containerised energy sources, including batteries. With the specially designed E-barges this is a 100% zero-emission setup. The vessel has an eternal lifespan because every part can be replaced, adjusted, or removed, including the energy source. Operations will start in Q2, 2023.
Hydrogen One (e1 Marine/Elliott Bay Design Group/Maritime Partners)
MarineInsight (ioCurrents)
A data analytics platform using artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyse data from vessels to help predict equipment failures, optimise voyages for lower fuel consumption and improve maintenance schedules. Western Towboat has used ioCurrents to eliminate pump failures using this predictive technology.
TRAnsverse tug (Svitzer/Robert Allan Ltd/Sanmar Shipyards)
Svitzer worked with Robert Allan Ltd to design a next-generation multipurpose tug with leading manoeuvring and escort capabilities supporting all types of harbour and terminal towage operations, while reducing fuel consumption. It has an omni-directional hullform and propulsion system enabling safe, swift, and seamless transition between direct and indirect towing modes. Svitzer’s first TRAnsverse tug will begin operations by September 2023.
