They didn’t depart unnoticed! TOS was preparing the ship delivery of the ZWEDEN (ex-SMIT ZWEDEN) and the RUSLAND (ex-SMIT RUSLAND)at the Waalhaven in Rotterdam. From this moment on the attention was enormous.
Many tugspotters and maritime reporters visited the site and shared their pictures and news. An impression:
TOS is delivering both tugs for Martrade from Sliedrecht, The Netherlands. In 2009 TOS delivered its first vessel for Martrade, the RADO (ex-DRADO) to the same final destination. Our TOS team also visited the crew of both tugs at the Waalhaven, situated in front of our head office.
