DREAM TEAM

Many academic institutions (like TNO and the Delft University of Technology) and industry partners have been involved in the development of the CARROUSEL RAVE TUG. The ‘Dream Team’ confirming the performance and potential of the CARROUSEL RAVE TUG consists of:

Voith

Voith

Renowned German manufacturer of extremely robust and reliable marine propulsion systems and vessel controls that particularly suit the dynamics of the CARROUSEL RAVE TUG. Voith also has deep knowledge of and experience with dynamic modes of towing.

Luyt Groep

Luyt Groep

Leading Dutch designer and manufacturer of marine winches. For the CARROUSEL RAVE TUG Luyt has developed an alternative for a standard winch with the same operational capabilities, but being much lighter and requiring significantly less power to drive it.

Robert Allan

Robert Allan

The world’s leading consultancy firm on naval architecture and marine engineering for tugs. Robert Allan developed the Rave design with two Voith propellers in-line, which propulsion configuration is particularly suitable for integration with the towing system.

Anglo Belgian corporation

Anglo Belgian corporation

World-class manufacturer of robust diesel engines for marine use, with a wealth of experience driving tugs. Key elements are fuel efficiency, long lifetime, ease of maintenance and excellent competitiveness.

LONG-TERM LEASING OPTIONS

Novatug intends to offer the CARROUSEL RAVE TUGS under both financial as well as (even) operational leasing options. Together with its industrial partners, Novatug has secured maintenance schemes for the tug’s entire propulsion train, the Carrousel ring and the special winch so that Novatug and its clients can benefit from highly predictable (or even fixed) operational costs of the tugs for the total economic lifespan of the CRT’s and only excluding fuel, other consumables and any possible repair costs.
