On 8 May 2024, KOTUG Canada Inc., a partnership between KOTUG International B.V.
and Horizon Maritime Inc., held a keel laying ceremony for two RAsalvor 4400-DFM
dual fuel methanol escort tugs – Robert Allan Ltd. design – to service the Trans
Mountain Expansion Project, at Sanmar Shipyards Altinova in Yalova, Turkiye. The
first tug is expected to be delivered by mid-2025.

The tugboats are reportedly the first of their kind to be powered by methanol
and are engineered to provide the high bollard pull required for the Trans
Mountain Expansion Project.

The tugs will escort tankers from the harbor limits of the Port of Vancouver to
the open Pacific Ocean through the commercial shipping lanes of the Salish Sea.
To provide this service, KOTUG Canada has partnered with the Sc’ianew First
Nation from Beecher Bay, strategically located along the shipping route.

To be named SD AISEMAHT and SD QWII-AAN’C SARAH in honor of members of Sc’ianew
First Nation, the vessels are scheduled to be the world’s first large
purpose-built high bollard pull methanol fuelled tugs when they enter service in
2025.
