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

The tugs will have 80 tons of static traction (bollard pull), 25 meters long and 13 meters wide, with Escort Tug class notation.

The company says that the new model has the most modern equipment available on the market and guarantees a high level of security for port maneuvers, in addition to IMO Tier III certification, which attests to the elimination of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by vessels.

Did you know that Wilson Sons set a record at Tecon Rio Grande for rice exports, with 10 containers for the year? More than 252 thousand 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, between January and November, recorded an increase of 12% compared to the same period in 2019.

For the CEO of Tecon Rio Grande, Paulo Bertinetti, the good results are due to the 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.
