KOTUG Guyana Inc. (100% local subsidiary of KOTUG International B.V.) has been awarded a second contract by Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) to support operations in Guyana. KOTUG’s latest additions, the 120 tonnes bollard pull strong “SD Honour”, will join the fleet of dedicated offshore terminal tugs supporting the two Floating Production, Storage and Offloading units (FPSO’s) offshore Guyana with static tow, push-pull duties and general offshore support to very large crude carriers (VLCC’s) taking offload cargo from the FPSO’s.
