Ibercisa has designed and manufactured deck machinery tor the TRAktor 3200-V tugboats designed by Robert Allan Ltd.,specifically to meet Boluda’s demanding requirements for performance, propulsion equipment, accommodation facilities, tank capacities and all within a gross tonnage (GRT) limit of less than 500.

The deck machinery features an Ibercisa Model MR-H/200/2/300-80, double drum, hydraulic escort towing winch. Winch low speed pull at first layer is 75.5 tonnes at 8.4 m/min. and rendering capacity is 120.8 tonnes at 13.4 m/min. Brake holding load is 200 tonnes.

The vessel was built at the Zamakona shipyard in collaboration with the designer Robert Allan and the experience of Boluda Towage and Salvage as tug operator. The AVT type "VB XALOC" tub boat, will, from now, on be a reference in port operations, towing and escorting. The tugboat with a GT of below 500, length of 31,70m and width of 12.80m has a horsepower of 7600 to obtain a bollard pull of 79,60 tons. It has accommodation for 8 crew with "Comf-Noise 3" also a new departure for this type of vessel.

The vessel’s general arrangement, main engine performance requirements and specifications, and electrical power plant design all evolved from the significant collaboration between Boluda and Robert Allan Ltd. The result is a functional layout making maximum use of the relatively limited space on such a high-powered vessel with overall volume constrained by the 500 GT limit.
