Sanmar Delivers Denmark’s First All-Electric Tugboat, SVITZER INGRID

Built by Sanmar, the SVITZER INGRID has become Denmark’s first fully electric tugboat. Named by Queen Mary, the vessel is expected to save up to 900 tons of CO² annually.

At a ceremony in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, the country’s first all-electric tugboat, SVITZER INGRID, was officially named by Queen Mary. The event, attended by over 100 guests from the maritime sector, also featured Turkish Sanmar Shipyards, which built the tugboat.

Sanmar is a world leader in producing zero-emission, fully electric tugboats. With this new vessel built for its long-term partner SVITZER, the company has once again solidified its leadership in the industry.

Both High-Performing and Zero-EmissionSVITZER INGRID is based on the ElectRA 2500SX design, which was developed exclusively for Sanmar by the Canadian naval engineering firm Robert Allan Ltd. The tugboat is 25.4 meters long, 12.86 meters wide, and has a draft of 5.40 meters. Equipped with an 1,808 kWh battery system, FFV1 fire-fighting equipment, and a 70-ton bollard pull, the vessel can perform 90% of its operations on battery power alone.

This technology is expected to reduce carbon emissions in the Öresund region by 600-900 tons annually. A single one-hour charge from shore power—sourced from renewable energy—is sufficient for daily operations.

SVITZER INGRID is the 30th tugboat Sanmar has delivered to SVITZER. It is also the ninth fully electric tugboat produced by the company and the first electric vessel in SVITZER’s global fleet. Sanmar’s fully electric ElectRA tugboats are already in service in Europe, North America, and Latin America.

Sanmar states that it has built more than half of the world’s fully electric tugboats at its environmentally friendly shipyards in Turkey. With this vessel delivered to Denmark—following previous deliveries to Canada, Chile, and Norway—the company continues to set global standards in sustainable maritime transport. Additionally, six new electric tugboats are currently under construction, including four units for BOTAŞ, Turkey’s state-owned energy company.
