Wagenborg Launches New Tug Wild Maa

On Tuesday, October 18, 2016, Wagenborg launched the new tugboat Wild Maa in Groningen, the Netherlands.

 

Prior to the tandem lift, Wagenborg transferred the tug, weighing 253 metric tons and measuring 29 meters long and 10.3 meters wide, from the construction hall to the quay using 14 axle lines conventional trailers. At the quay, two 700 ton mobile cranes lifted the tugboat from the conventional trailers and positioned the vessel in the water, the Oude Winschoterdiep.

 

After launching, the tugboat was towed to Waterhuizen, the Netherlands, where construction will be finalized, before heading off to her final destination, Basel, Switzerland.
