Water systems for new US tugs

Currently in production at the Trinity Yachts shipyard in Gulfport, Mississippi, each of the three 83 tonne bollard pull ASD tugs will be equipped with two 120,000 BTU/10 ton chilled water systems. Dometic’s chilled water equipment has been specifically designed and packaged to meet the customer’s requirements to provide cooling of the vessels’ on-board spaces including crew living accommodation areas.

“We require the highest quality and proven-reliable air conditioning to provide a comfortable and pleasant working environment for our crew members, as well as cool sensitive electronic equipment on-board,” said Joseph W. Dahl, general manager of new construction for Signet Maritime. “Dometic Marine has proven to provide a wide range of HVAC solutions, which are further supported by exceptional technical expertise and customer service.”

Nathan Farr, OEM sales manager (USA), Dometic Marine commented: “We are honoured to have won the new contract with Signet Maritime which is testament to our capability to provide total system solutions. Through close collaboration with architects and builders, we are able to customise our chilled water equipment to satisfy specific vessel requirements for cooling and engine room space.”
