Marineforum had already reported that the German Armed Forces Procurement Office has purchased another used ocean-going tug for the German Navy. The tug will operate under the name \"Borkum\" and will officially enter service for the German Navy on 1 October 2024. The tug, which previously sailed under the name \"Britoil Guardian\" under the flag of Singapore with the IMO number 9797280, passed the Kiel Canal in the last few days and has now arrived in Kiel.<\/p>\n
Together with the tugboat \"R\u00fcgen\", the \"Borkum\" will replace the over 50-year-old tugboats \"Wangerooge\", \"Spiekeroog\" and \"Fehmarn\", which were deemed uneconomical to repair. As things stand at present, they will serve as an interim solution for at least six years. A successor system will then be developed.<\/p>\n
