TUG BOATMARINE RMOCEAN SHIPBOAT FOR MSFS

3/5 (10)


Here we are in front of one of the strongest and most versatile vessels today. The Dual Fuel ASD Escort Tug, built by Gondán Shipbuilders, is one of the most modern boats of its type in the world, as it combines intelligent mechanics of two different fuels to handle temperatures of 20 degrees below zero in the extreme arctic. The system runs on LNG or diesel, thus ensuring operational flexibility and environmental sustainability. The tug has steel as hull material and its two Wärtsilä 6L34DF engines produce 3000 kW each, sending all the power to two sets of azimuthal propellers. Its maximum speed is 15 knots and the mooring pull is 110 tons. At a speed of 10 knots, the steering force is 155 tons. A truly remarkable little one. The ship still has an operations crane, with a capacity of 3.8 tons and even a fast rescue boat: a Yamaha Outboard with 25hp. Among its functions, it can play the role of escort tug, firefighting vessel, water spraying and oil recovery vessel, among other things. The command bridge is innovative, has a 360-degree view and the ship is robust, 40.2m long and 6.3m deep, has accommodation for 8 crew members to navigate with great comfort and safety in the most diverse operations that the tug can Perform. Try it!

HOW TO PLAY:

Launch anywhere in the world over water or on a seaplane runway, forward power for acceleration and aileron control for left or right turns. Use the rudder controls to use the axial motor to turn left and right. You can turn the boat on and off using the multi-function tablet on the dashboard, and activate functions such as anchor or mooring ropes. Use the flaps to honk.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

Navigating rivers or narrow banks and some regions with photogrammetry can be inconvenient, as the game's base codes for object detection controlled by the player causes the boat to run aground unintentionally. Passing under some bridges can also be impossible in some cases, as the collision of the ground above the bridge detects the boat in the water and puts the boat above or causes it to run aground. This is not a product defect.

The Deep Sea Tugboat is an ocean-going, dual-fuel tug built by Gondan Shipbuilders of Spain. The vessel can undertake a number of mission sets that includes escort, firefighting, oil recovery, and water spraying. Classed as an unrestricted navigation AUT-UMS surface vessel, the tug can operate in waters throughout the world, and in a wide range of conditions. Due to its ASD (azimuth stern drive) configuration, powerful bow thruster, and refined controls, the tug can be operated with the highest levels of power and precision.

The tug measures 131 feet, 11 inches in length, has a beam of 52 feet, 6 inches, and has a draught of 22 feet. Two Wartsilia 6L34DF dual fuel engines, each of which produce up to 4,023 horsepower, provide main power for the tug. Each 6L34DF turns a Schottel SRP 3030CP propeller. A single 335-horsepower Schottel 170 T-FP provides bow thrusting power. The tug can be fueled with either conventional marine fuels (heavy fuel oil or light fuel oil) or LNG (liquefied natural gas).
