Launching of 25T Bollard Pull Tug Boat Bahubali and commencement of construction work of Yuvan in Kolkata


The launching of the second 25T Bollard Pull Tug Boat Bahubali and construction work of the fourth 25T BP Tug Boat Yuvan was inaugurated by Commander Atul Maini, Chairman SSB (Kolkata) on 12 March 2024 at M/s Titagarh Rail Systems Limited, Kolkata. This tugboat is the proud flag bearer of the “Make in India” initiative of the Government of India.

In line with the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative of the Government of India, a contract was signed with M/s Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (M/s TRSL) for the construction and delivery of six 25T BP Tugs boats. These special ships are being built based on the classification rules of the Indian Shipping Register (IRS). The availability of these boats will accelerate the naval operational commitments of the Indian Navy by facilitating support to naval ships and submarines during berthing and unberthing, turning and maneuvering in confined waters. These tugs will also provide firefighting support to ships at anchor and have the capability to conduct limited search and rescue operations.
