The Legacy of Smit Rotterdam

Built in 1975 for Smit International BV in Holland, the Smit Rotterdam was the largest and most powerful ocean-going tugboat of its time. With a tonnage of 2,273 tons, an impressive length of 75 meters, and a 22,000 HP engine, this vessel was designed to handle the toughest maritime conditions. Capable of reaching speeds up to 16.5 knots, the Smit Rotterdam featured advanced navigation, steering, and radio communication equipment, making it a pioneer in tugboat engineering. Its bulb stern and stern nozzle design contributed to its superior stability and maneuverability.
