U.K.-based Marine Software Ltd recently supplied the Ports of Auckland with the MPMWin (Marine Planned Maintenance system) for a range of harbor towage vessels. This includes the fuel tanker vessel "Awanuia" GRT 2,747, which is owned by Seafuels, a subsidiary of Ports of Auckland/Z-Energy.
The following harbour vessels will be managed and centrally controlled from the office OPM system ashore, with "Awanuia" using the on-board MPM version.
Harbour towage vessels "WakaKume" & "Waipapa" are ASD Tugs with 50T bollard pull/4,500BHP, "Hauraki" is an ASD Tug (new Damen 2411) having 70T bollard pull/5,700BHP and "Daldy" a Voith Tug with 25T bollard pull/2,300BHP.
Ports of Auckland have four tugs that perform 95% of the towage on Auckland harbor.
