Audax Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a significant milestone for maritime innovation, GONDAN has successfully delivered AUDAX, the latest addition to its fleet of advanced dual fuel tugboats. This delivery to Norway's Østensjø Rederi A/S marks AUDAX as the third dual fuel tug constructed in Europe, following the impressive launches of DUX in May and PAX in July. Designed by the esteemed Canadian firm Robert Allan Ltd, AUDAX measures 40.2 meters in length and 16 meters in beam, positioning it as a robust solution for demanding tug services. This tug will primarily support the Norwegian state-controlled energy giant Statoil at its challenging Melkøya terminal, where operations are routinely tested by severe weather conditions. Engineered to operate efficiently in extreme environments, these vessels are capable of functioning at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. AUDAX exemplifies environmental responsibility, utilizing LNG for most operations and adhering to the rigorous IMO Tier III emissions standards, while also offering the operational reliability of diesel power.
