Cochin Shipyard secures order for two 70 T Bollard Pull Tugs from Polestar Maritime
Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), one of India's premier shipbuilders, has recently informed exchanges that the company secured a fresh order from Polestar Maritime Limited for the construction of two powerful 70-ton Bollard Pull Tugs. These vessels are expected to be delivered in May 2027 and September 2027, respectively. This new order comes on top of three similar tugs already under construction by Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited (Udupi-CSL), a wholly owned CSL subsidiary. Polestar Maritime, a well-known name in harbour tug services and marine assistance across ports, is expanding its fleet with high-performance, India-built vessels. The tugs will be built based on designs by Robert Allan Ltd., a global leader in tugboat design. Both CSL and Udupi-CSL are playing a key role in bringing these advanced tug designs to India under the Government of India's Approved Standard Tug Design and Specifications (ASTDS) framework—part of the broader 'Atma Nirbhar Bharat' initiative to boost local manufacturing. The vessels will be jointly constructed at CSL's Cochin yard under a work-share model with Udupi-CSL. Each tug will be powered by twin 1838 kW engines and 2.7-meter propellers supplied by Niigata IHI Power Systems, Japan. With four tugs already delivered and 20 more—18 regular and 2 green tugs—in the pipeline, CSL continues to make steady progress in strengthening India's shipbuilding capabilities.
