One of TUGPINS latest innovations is the patented design of a 100% watertight (Watertight Plus) system. By preventing water from entering the system causing corrosion of the mechanical parts, your maintenance cost will be reduced to a minimum. The use of degradable oil as a lubricant for the moving pins, also helps to preserve the environment.

Since 1979, Aqua Nor has been an important international meeting place for the aquaculture industry. Today it is the world’s largest aquaculture technology exhibition.

Tugpins is up and running with engineering and building new towing pins / shark jaws and to keep you up to date we have renewed our website, check it out!

We would like to thank Boskalis for their order and trust in our latest innovation Watertight Plus. The Watertight Plus system tackles one of the most common causes of malfunction in towing pins: the internal damage caused by corrosion from seawater. Our Watertight Plus system makes our towing pins 100% watertight.

The latest development of Tugpins is a new type of hardened roller with a thick hardened layer for your towing pin. This roller is produced with a special process which create a very thick hardened layer on the outside of the roller with a hardness of 52-56 Rockwell C. On top of that this material has stainless steel characteristics!

The advantage is much better resistance against tow cables and anchor chains, this roller will last much longer! Are you interested in this special roller please do not hesitate to contact us at T: +31 (0)10 3130920 or E: info@tugpins.com.
