NPA inaugurates new tugboats to facilitate shipping in Nigeria

Amaechi said the tugboats further accentuate the determination of the Federal Government and the NPA to increase operational efficiency. He also assured that work is ongoing to link all the seaports to the standard gauge rail line, even as the government is determined to link up the 36 state capitals, including the Federal Capital, Abuja, to the standard gauge rail services.

“The power delivered by the twin MTU engines will enable the tugboats to produce 60-tonne bollard pull ahead, and 58.7-tonne astern for towing operations. They are also equipped to serve as fire-fighting machines.” “This buttresses the commitment of the government to invest in the development of the sector, and a call on other stakeholders to join the government in this very important task,” she added.
