Tugboat Fleet of DeloPorts turns four years old
December 23, 2021, marks the fourth anniversary of establishment of the tugboat fleet of the Delo Service Company (SC Delo), a part of DeloPorts, the stevedoring asset of the Delo Group.
On that day in 2017, SC Delo accepted the first three tugboats produced by Damen Shipyards Group. The tugs which received the name «Delovoy» with the relative numbering. Today there are six tugboats in the fleet in total.
The last years have shown that the decision to create own tugboat fleet was more than rational and justified.
In 2021, DeloPorts completed the implementation of the large investment project aimed at reconstruction of container and grain terminals. As the result the two new deep-water berths were launched, which allows simultaneous mooring of two vessels, including ocean-type ones.
The professionalism of tugboat crews provides quick and safe mooring of all arriving vessels, which makes operations as efficient and comfortable as possible for our customers.
Over the years of existence of the SC Delo tugboat fleet 4932 mooring operations were carried out.
Good working relations are established with the pilot service of FSUE Azov-Black Sea Basin Branch of Rosmorport.
Pilots play an important role in achieving uninterrupted and accident-free performance during all operations at the berths of the DeloPorts terminals. This especially is true for the mooring operations in unfavorable weather conditions.
The same effective cooperation was established with all other port services, which facilitates the successful achievement of the tasks.
Igor Yakovenko, the CEO of DeloPorts, congratulating the SC Delo employees on the fourth anniversary of the fleet formation, noted: «Having own tugboat fleet for the company that owns eight berths, and two of them are the deepest in the Azov-Black Sea basin, is the vital component of the safe operations and increasing efficiency of our terminals. We value trust of our customers and guarantee responsiveness and quality. I thank all the employees of SC Delo, our colleagues from port services, the pilot staff of the basin branch of Rosmorport. We are confident that in the future the common work will be effective».
