When Svitzer Australia’s latest tug-fleet
When Svitzer Australia’s latest tug-fleet addition — Svitzer Glenrock — is commissioned for work in August, its name will carry a significance not just for the port in which it operates, but for the employees who voted for its name.
Designed by the Dutch shipbuilding company, Damen, and built in Vietnam, Svitzer Glenrock is a 32-12 format which means it is 32 metres long with a 12-metre beam. The tug is powerful enough to make an 85-tonne bollard-pull.
But while it has an international heritage, it was the 180 Svitzer employees at the Port of Newcastle who were asked to find a name for the new vessel.
“Glenrock will work in the world’s busiest coal port, moving bulk carriers and petroleum tankers around the harbour,” says Svitzer’s Newcastle Port Manager, Ben Hart.
“The company gave the employees a chance to choose the tug’s name, and they chose Glenrock. It’s a well-known recreation reserve in Newcastle, so it’s fitting.”
Glenrock is a well-used wilderness precinct just south of Newcastle city. It was made a State Recreation Area in the 1980s and is popular with families because of its beaches, bush, wildlife and famous lagoon. #svitzerau #svitzeraustralia
