ProTUG65 — Harbor Tug Feasibility & Concept Design

Feasibility assessment and concept design of a ~32.4 m harbor tug under RINA classification — preliminary naval architecture through hydrodynamic performance analysis.


The two-phase study (feasibility analysis followed by concept development) defines the vessel's preliminary dimensions, performance and design characteristics. Through advanced simulation and concept validation methodologies, the study contributes to improved vessel performance, optimised operational capability, and reduced design risk prior to detailed engineering and construction phases.

Scope of Work

Coordinated and supervised multiple critical mechanical and marine systems refurbishment activities, including:

  • Preliminary general arrangement
  • Feasibility assessment report
  • Capacity and construction plans
  • Midship section + stability evaluation
  • CFD-based hull resistance & bollard pull analysis
  • Production design support

Our Approach

HYDRUS led the complete feasibility assessment and concept design of the vessel, including preliminary naval architecture studies, general arrangement development, capacity planning, stability assessment, and CFD-based hull resistance and bollard pull analysis — supporting informed design decisions from the earliest project stages.
