tugboat hitzler for salePre owned

Built in special HR steel by the Hiztler shipyard in 1957, the Polarfuchs is an icebreaker 32 meters above all.
Former government boat of the Federal Republic of Germany, it carried out for most of its life rescue and patrol service in the North Sea, having as its base the town of Cuxhaven near Hamburg at the mouth of the Elbe River.
The hull designed for a maximum speed of 17 knots is built with extreme skill: it is not a common tugboat but a multipurpose boat designed to intervene at any time and quickly.
The thicknesses of the plating and structures are impressive and from the latest ultrasonic analyzes of 2014 they do not show any reduction in thickness from the original project of 1957.
The remarkable width of 8.90 meters. combined with the high cruising speed make it extremely stable to roll, two fixed anti-roll wings complete the hull and make it even more pleasant to navigate.
The inboard engine, in perfect condition, is a 1980 Alfa/Mann of 10 V cylinders with double turbine from 1700 HP at 750 rpm. The power is exuberant and allows an easy cruising speed of 12 knots with a reduced consumption of about 110 Lt / h.
The 4-blade propeller, with variable pitch and controllable by the wheelhouse, allows an immediate choice of power distribution adapting it to the thrust needs in all sea conditions.
