BRAtt Series

Model 780-A, 880-S

Ultra-compact Z-drive ASD tug design with a ship-handling winch, conceived for training Z-drive tug masters and suited to line-handling or yarding work.

Description

The BRAtt is an ultra-compact ASD tugboat design with Z-drive propulsion, a fully operational ship-handling winch and the features of a fully functional harbour tug, scaled down to a size suited to a training vessel. It can be built in steel (S) or aluminium (A).

Originally conceived and built as a platform for cost-effective real-life training of Z-drive tug masters, the BRAtt also has commercial potential as a line-handling or yarding tug where compact but powerful capability is useful.
