KOTUG
MARITIME
EXCELLENCE
CENTER
KOTUG can boast over 100 years of experience in the
maritime industry. In these years we have expanded our
field of expertise from towage to other areas such as
salvage and offshore. This extensive nautical and technical
knowledge has now been consolidated in KOTUG’s
Maritime Excellence Center (MEC). The MEC is the place
where our track record becomes tangible and where we are
able to perform our part as thought leader. Where we fulfill
our promise of being an all-round and integrated know-
how service provider to the maritime industry.
Our mission is to support clients in creating safer, greener
and more efficient operations. KOTUG’s Maritime Excellence
Center addresses all elements of a shipping line and is
therefore the place to go to for every aspect of ‘Tugnology’
- and more. From training programs to supervision of the
newbuilding of vessels, from strategic advice to aiding in
operation and everything in between.
“….Thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and
the go-to people in their field of expertise. They are
trusted resources who move and inspire people with
innovative ideas: turn ideas into reality and advice on
how to replicate their success. They create a dedicated
group of friends, fans and followers to help them
replicate and scale those ideas into sustainable change.
Not just in one company, but in an industry, niche or
across an entire network…..”
1.TUGTRAINING
‘Knowledge Ahead’ means improving industry
know-how continuously and having high
standards. KOTUG has therefore developed its
own KOTUG standards of Training and
Education. We train crews and educate new
captains in operating all possible propulsion
systems. We provide training captains and
consultants and - if needed - we also deliver
captains. Training can take place both in
simulator centers across the globe and live on
real ships. Some examples of the tug training:
- Training crews (with or without simulator)
- ‘Sail in port’ awareness course (ship
captains)
- ‘Sail in port’ awareness course with BRM
module
- Training for companies ordering a new
Rotortug
- Formal training and examination
- Objective assessment of captains
- End to end training plans for entire crews
2.NAUTICALCONSULTANCY
During port and terminal development around
the world, it is important to pay attention to
the use of tugs and the safest and most
efficient way of operating them. In addition to
training, we also deliver consultancy services,
with or without simulation, such as:
- Advice on the (new) harbour / terminal layout
- Simulating these new harbour layouts and
assessing the type and number of tugs needed
- Simulating various scenarios in tug boat
configuration
- Assessing the best tug type for a certain
harbour
- Nautical and HSE support to the maritime
industry and tug operators
- Towage consultancy on special marine
transport projects
- Simulating special marine transport projects,
our towmasters provide support in the
execution of the simulated scenarios
- Providing advice and production of complete
marine safety cases
3.TECHNICALCONSULTANCY
The Maritime Excellence Center supports ship
owners in optimizing and improving the
technical standards of their assets. In addition to
optimizing fleet maintenance, the Maritime
Excellence Center can also help to analyze the
performance of fleets and consult on how to
improve effectiveness and efficiency, e.g.:
- Docking support (on-site and remote)
- Vessel inspections and assessments against set
standards (incl. reporting)
- Planned and preventive maintenance
optimization
- Defining the optimum maintenance strategy for
an entire fleet
- Analysis of fleet performance with analytical
tools and/or dashboards
- Providing advice on the best suitable tug
composition within a certain operation or port
INNOVATIONS
Innovation is at the heart of the KOTUG’s
Maritime Excellence Center. Here all KOTUG
innovations, like the Hybrid Rotortug 2.0 or the
KO-LINK, have been developed and managed.
We provide innovative solutions to ongoing
technical and operational issues, in terms of
propulsion, fuel systems, emissions and towing
equipment, aiming to have the best possible tug
and fleet configuration for the job.
4.NEWBUILDING
For many years KOTUG has been supervising
and managing the newbuilding of its state-
of-the-art fleet, at yards all over the world.
We help ship owners to ensure that vessels
are built on time and within budget and
against a set of quality specifications.
The KOTUG newbuilding team can deliver
services for all newbuilding projects and
other activities, e.g:
- Newbuilding supervision
- Yard selection
- Purchasing support, such as valuations
of second hand vessels
- Supplier vetting and auditing
- Providing advice on the most suitable tugs
for the client’s requirements
