The Carrousel towing system is as simple as it is effective. It consists of a towing point on a straightforward steel ring, freely rotating around the superstructure of the tug. Novatug has taken the initiative to develop a game-changing harbour, terminal and escort tugboat, the CARROUSEL RAVE TUG (CRT), around this innovative and patented Carrousel towing system. With the CRT Novatug entered a whole new era in towing. And this not just by using the Carrousel. By a clever combination of low-drag hull design, versatile Voith propulsion, robust ABC engines and special Luyt winch a tug has been developed that will set new and unprecedented standards in safety, fuel efficiency and pulling power. All this is further enhanced by Novatug’s business model featuring worldwide service, fixed maintenance costs and lease options. With the development of the CRT, Novatug wants to thrust the tugboat industry forward by a gigantic leap. It’s not just an innovation, it’s putting thrust in nature. Novatug. A patent on nature.
