NaviForm ATLAS line of tugs and Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) design covers the bollard pull range from 40 to 250 ton. Our ATLAS AHTS are currently optimized and pre-engineered in several sizes and types (the number refers to bollard pull) All ATLAS AHTS share the following cost saving features:

• not a single square centimeter or inch of compound curvature, even in bow bulb. Superior to conventional hard chine form. Form optimized in CFD and numerous model testing for minimum power. The only design on the market featuring resistance saving integrated (rather than conventional add-on) skeg. Each form designed to maximize plate size and minimize welding.
• In larger hulls, a novel DDE type propulsion concept maximizing efficiency and manoeuverability.
• Structural design significantly reducing number of steel pieces, with an option of eliminating brackets.

Other types of AHTS have been and can be custom designed. However, on the following pages you may find the hull that would represent a good starting point for discussion of your custom hull. Or match your requirements closely enough to become an off-the-shelf design for your next tug.contact us at info@naviform.com .
