Rimorchiatori Napoletani SRL

The present fleet

The RN fleet consists of more than 20 modern and powerful tugs, all combining a great manoeuvrability and flexibility when working in harbour area with a very good seaworthiness when working at open sea and all with maximum RINA class; in addition to harbour tugs the RN group fleet includes the offshore support vessels fleet owned by the subsidiary company Portosalvo Ltd and the fleet managed by its subsidiary company Rimorchiatori Meridionali Srl.

More in detail, for the harbour of Naples we have provided two Stern Drive Azimuthing Tugs (SDAT) units of 4’400 BHP and bollard pull in excess of 50 tons of the "Anacapri" class realised in the year 2002 by President Marine Shipyard of Singapore.
