Design award

Towage and salvage specialist Multraship and its innovation arm, Novatug, have won the prestigious Maritime KVNR Shipping Award 2018 for their ground-breaking Carrousel RAVE Tug (CRT) design. The KVNR Shipping Award 2018 recognises a combination of realisation and implementation with a vision for the future. The RAVE Tug makes it easier, safer and more environmentally friendly to work with seagoing vessels at much higher speeds than those which conventional tugs can achieve and without the risk of capsizing. The CRT cannot capsize by towline force. It uses the mass and momentum of the assisted ship to do its job.
