One of the Italian powerful anchor handling tug (aht) around is the 2006 built CARLO MAGNO.

She was built in Italy by Cantieri Navale Rosetti Marino Spa at Ravenna, launched on 7th September 2005 and completed on 27th February, 2006 built to a Rolls-Royce Marine UT514L design and handed over in March 2006. She’s 55.4 metres long with a beam of 15.5 metres and maximum draft of 5.20 metres. It meets the RINA class requirements for C+supply vessel; tug; salvage tug; fire fighting Class 1 with water spray.

CARLO MAGNO is a twin screw tug powered by two Wartsila 8L32 engines rated 4,000kW each at 750rpm (approx 10,870 bhp), capable of running on gasoil or heavy fuel oil for maximum economy. Each main engine is coupled to a 3.6m controllable pitch propeller rotating within a fixed nozzle. Each main engine is also coupled, via the main propulsion gearboxes, to a 1,250kVA shaft generator. A further power takeoff at the front end of each engine is coupled to the fire pumps for the external FiFi 1 system. Two diesel driven auxiliary generators are installed, an emergency alternator of 88kVA and a harbour set rated at 187kVA. The latter is required to provide electrical power for the ship when the main engines and shaft generators are not in operation. Ulstein ‘high-lift flap’ rudders are installed and manoeuvrability is enhanced further with the installation of two electrically powered Ulstein TT 1300 DPN-CP transverse bow thrusters.
