With an output of 22,000 hp, the tugs SMIT ROTTERDAM and SMIT LONDON, “sister ships”, were built in 1975 by the shipyard “De Merwede” in Hardinxveld-Giessendam (Netherlands).
These two ocean-going tugs were for a long time the largest and most powerful in the world.
They have been specifically designed to tow very heavy items such as offshore platforms over long distances and in all weather conditions and to support ships in distress - no matter the ocean.
After a career spanning almost 40 years, they were scrapped in India in 2013 and 2014.
