A great day of like minded Mariners from England and France. SeaWays Europe had the great pleasure in welcoming the French Navy & Pilots over for a chat about tugs and effective use. Hosted by Transas France in support of the possibility that the French Navy will change their tug requirements to Azimuth propulsion, they called upon SeaWays for some advice after SeaWays was involved in the training of the UK Tugmasters in their change from conventional and Voith propulsion to a new suite of Azimuth tugs built by Damen shipyards. A wonderful day was had by all and a lot was learnt, giving everyone a better understanding of their future needs and how best to effectively utilise new assets.
