Induction ceremony for 25T Bollard Pull (BP) Tug Bhishm and Bahubali was held on November 28, 2024 at NSRY (SVP). The ceremony was presided over by Air Marshal Saju Balakrishnan, Commander-in-Chief, Andaman & Nicobar Command.
The contract for construction and delivery of six 25T BP Tugs was concluded with Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL), Kolkata, on November 12, 2021. The shipyard has indigenously designed these Tugs in collaboration with an Indian ship designing firm. These tugs have been built in accordance with the relevant Naval Rules and Regulations of Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) and are proud flag bearers of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives of Government of India.
These Tugs will aid IN ships and submarines during berthing, un-berthing, turning and manoeuvring in confined waters thereby aiding the operations of ships directly. The Tugs will also provide afloat fire-fighting support to ships alongside and at anchorage, and will also have the capability to conduct limited Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.
