Fairmount Alpine
Fairmount Marine is a Dutch shipping company that is particularly active in
deep-sea towing and heavy-lift transport. Fairmount Marine was founded in 1980.
In 2007, Fairmount Marine was acquired by the Paris-based company Louis Dreyfus
Armateurs. The company is a member of the International Salvage Union.
Fleet of vessels: Fairmount Marine operates six ocean-going tugs and one
semi-submersible vessel. Five of the ocean-going tugs, which form the Fairmount
class, are used for ocean towage and as anchor handling and salvage tugs. They
have a bollard pull of 205 tonnes. The sixth tug serves as an offshore supply
tug. Also semi-submersible barges including the Gavea LIFTER with 50,000 tons
deadweight and multipurpose offshore supply vessels.
Construction kit: This Dutch super tug can be built as a floor model or as a remote-controlled model. The kit is made entirely of laser-blasted wooden parts. The hull construction is based on frames and laser-cut side parts, which make building comparatively easy. All superstructure parts are laser-cut from the finest plywood. Also included are all hardware parts as well as shafts, stern tubes and rudders.
The model is powered by two electric motors. The installation of a bow thruster is also provided.
