A NEW VESSEL AND BARGES IN THE AGENT PLUS RIVER FLEET

Our river fleet has grown richer by the pusher “Apostol”, as well as two barges marked “71261” and “71815”.

Apostol is a motor pusher that does not need much space to manoeuvre with barges, which, among other things, simplifies and facilitates the performance of port operations. It is fully ready for operation and, since May, has been successfully carrying out its tasks on the Danube.

Pusher Apostol – basic characteristics:

• Built at the “Rheinwerft” / Mainz shipyard in Germany
• Vessel dimensions: 18.48 m (length); 11.22 m (width)
• Maximum draft: 2.02 m
• Powered by two Caterpillar engines, each with an output of 920 kW
• Can push up to 6 barges, with a maximum load of 12,504 t
• The vessel’s living quarters can accommodate 8 crew members.
