South African Navy accepts new tugs into the fleet
The South African Navy has formally accepted the two new Damen ATD 2909 tugs built by Damen Shipyards Cape Town into service.The Acceptance Ceremony, under the watchful eye of Project Officer Commander Hermann van Geems, took place at Simon’s Town Naval Base on Thursday, April 21. The first tug, IMVUBU (Hippo), was delivered to the SA Navy on 9 July 2015, whilst the second, INYATHI (Buffalo), was received on 4 February this year. Acquired under Project Canter, the two tugs will replace the existing harbour and coastal stalwarts DE NEYS and DE MIST, built in 1969 and 1978 respectively. The vessel replacement contract was awarded to Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT) in January 2014.
