The “FFS Athos”, type EDDY TUG 30-65, is an innovative tug designed and built round three key-criteria: performance, economy and safety. The slender hull form is easily driven, easy on gear, highly seaworthy and course stable in any direction. The compact centerline drive-trains with azimuthal thrusters forward and aft, results in very simple operations with 360 degrees working range. With its thruster positioning the tug has the capability to maintain continuous line tension under any circumstances.

When it comes to economy, the hybrid drive train ensures optimized fuel economy in all operational modes.

The high dynamic stability, the watertight compartments and spacious dry decks without obstructions guarantee a safe working platform. The double-drum render-recover Safe-Winch further mitigates the risk of having slack towlines and towline overload.

To meet the wishes of FFS Marine AS, the tug has had a several modifications before delivery, such as the fitting of a marine crane and an extension of the winch.
