RAmora (TOWBoT) Series

Lead vessel of the TOWBoT (Tele-Operated Workboat or Tug) series: an un-crewed, highly manoeuvrable tug design based on a RAVE-type platform.

Description

The RAmora is the lead vessel of Robert Allan Ltd.'s TOWBoT (Tele-Operated Workboat or Tug) series, intended to bring drone technologies into tug operations through un-crewed tugs. Based on a RAVE-type platform, the RAmora is highly manoeuvrable and equipped with an advanced control system derived from ROV/AUV and aerial drone applications.

It is designed to be operated wirelessly by an experienced tug master from a nearby vessel, with a level of control comparable to being on board. It can work in tandem with a conventional tug during ship handling and brings emergency capabilities to the harbour, including close-proximity fire-fighting, spill response and operation in toxic environments.
