According to Wilson Sons, the new tugboats will be built at the company’s shipyards in Guarujá (SP) and will feature a new design from Damen Shipyards.

The tugboats will have a static bollard pull of 80 tons, a length of 25 meters, and a beam of 13 meters, with Escort Tug class notation.

The company states that the new model is equipped with the latest equipment available on the market and ensures a high safety level for port maneuvers, along with IMO Tier III certification, which attests to the elimination of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by the vessels.

Did you know that Wilson Sons set a record at Tecon Rio Grande for rice exports, with 10,000 containers for the year? More than 252,000 tons were exported to Peru, the United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, Cape Verde, South Africa, and Angola.

Peru, which continues to be the destination for the largest volume of grain shipped by Tecon Rio Grande, recorded a 12% increase between January and November compared to the same period in 2019.

According to the CEO of Tecon Rio Grande, Paulo Bertinetti, the good results are due to high productivity in the 2019/20 harvest, which exceeded initial expectations, the conquest of new markets, and changes in consumption patterns caused by the pandemic.
