New Additions Part of Permanent Modernization Plan<\/i>
\nPanamanian President Moscoso Inaugurates the Tugboats<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

Panama City, Panama –\u00a0<\/b>Panama President Mireya Moscoso welcomed two new tugboats to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) fleet, both purchased at a cost of $10,768,794. The new units, named\u00a0Herrera<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Los Santos<\/i>, are made of state-of-the-art technology, and include emergency response equipment and improved operational facilities.<\/p>\n

Canal Administrator Alberto Aleman Zubieta stated: \u201c The addition of two tugboats,\u00a0Herrera<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Los Santos<\/i>, are part of the Canal\u2019s permanent modernization program geared towards providing our customers with the best service for their transit through the Canal. High- quality customer service is our first priority and these new tugboats are another example of this commitment.<\/p>\n

This equipment, to be operated by the Transit Resources Division, is made of steel and has a Schottel system for stern azimuthal propulsion. Each features a 4,400-horsepower Deutz engine, with specifications that allow the ACP to provide a better quality in transit services offered to customers.<\/p>\n

The tugboats consist of floating equipment that assist ships during their transit through the Panama Canal, mainly in the entrances and exits of the locks and during their journey through Culebra Cut, where maneuverability and power are required.<\/p>\n

Both tugboats received the traditional splash of champagne from their patrons: Captain Vielka Dom\u00ednguez, inaugurated tugboat\u00a0Los Santos<\/i>; and Panama President Moscoso inaugurated tugboat\u00a0Herrera<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by Canal Administrator Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta and Deputy Administrator Ricaurte V\u00e1squez M., members of the Panama Canal Authority Board of Directors, distinguished businessmen and government officials. During the inauguration, the advantages of the new equipment were highlighted, for this acquisition is part of the waterway\u2019s permanent modernization program. With the addition of\u00a0Herrera<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Los Santos<\/i>, the fleet now totals 24 units.<\/p>\n
