ABOUT US
Zero Emission Electric Tug Bot
Using more than 40 years of experience, knowledge and innovation we have developed ZEETUG® for a greener future!
ZEETUG30 is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 210 tons and NOX emissions by 9 tons a year. This value in emission reduction is equivalent to saving about 580 trees according to carbon meter calculations!
All electric and rechargeable battery-powered ZEETUG can be custom-built for any kind of operation needs from 5T BT up to 75T BP

POWERFUL
For tugboats with very high requirements in terms of speed and performance or a widely varying demand for power, Zeetug full electric propulsion system is capable to deliver the high-power output.
The full electric propulsion system offers the flexibility of being able to maneuver very precisely, and a powerful bollard pull! Meantime, compared to diesel tugs, Zeetug responds to commands much faster!
SMART
Smart Tug Energy Management System (STEMS) is designed by NAVTEK with the objective of optimizing the electric power consumption of the electric tug and extending its driving range. STEMS always in charge to manage the fleet of ZEETUGs.
EFFICIENT
Zeetug is a more efficient technology comparing to the combustion engines. During the combustion, only 30% of the energy is generated to mechanical power, while the significant portion of the energy is wasted to the environment as a heat... This amount is 80% with Zeetug. An electric motor also has more torque starting up and high-power output than an internal combustion engine.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
ZEETUG30 is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 210 tons and NOX emissions by 9 tons a year. This value in emission reduction is equivalent to saving about 580 trees according to carbon meter calculations!
SAFE
The batteries located in the fore and aft battery room keeps a constant temperature through a cooling system. This cooling system provides an optimum temperature for the battery safety conditions. Another feature: ISU is designed to not starting up before the charging plug is connected properly!
BUDGET
FRIENDLY
85% lower operating costs of full-electric propulsion systems is also a real benefit for the operators. Further, the high-power output means a significant increase in comfort levels! No noise, no vibration, no emission! Just efficient operation!
HOW DOES
ZEETUG WORK?
ZEETUG® has powerful batteries which charge with electricity that provides sufficient energy to fulfill her daily operational profile successfully without harming the environment!
We have designed ZEETUG® with the best available technology, our solid solution partner for batteries is CORVUS ENERGY.
With the aid of the modular system, ZEETUG® has integrated electrical propulsion system available to be tailored to the clients specific operational profile (from 5T BP to 75T BP).
CHARGE
Quick Charge Station (QCS)
Charging ZEETUG is a simple process! You simply plug ZEETUG® into a charger that is connected to the Quick Charge Station
The Quick Charge Station is designed tailor-made for ZEETUG® by NAVTEK NAVAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. The time it takes to charge a ZEETUG® varies based on the charger you use like other electrical devices. We adjust the technical characteristics of ZEETUG® according to the existing operation profile and needs/requires of our clients.
Safety first! ISU is designed to not starting up before the charging plug is connected properly!
LESS THAN 1 HOUR
Quick Charge Station can charge a ZEETUG-30 in less than 1 hour.
1,25 MVA
It supplies 2 ISU (IGBT supply unit) with 500 V Ac voltage provided from 1,25 MVA transformer.
500 KW
By charging this AC voltage coming from the IGBT supply units, DC 780 V is converted to the charging stations 2 output line cables and 500 KW nominal charging power is taken from the charging line.
BELOW 80%
The Quick Charge Station delivers the energy rapidly, the STEMS software automatically alerts you when the charging is completed! Charging above 80% is not typically necessary.
