The AVT (Advanced Voith Tractor) designation applies to Voith-propelled tugs designed by Robert Allan Ltd. for harbour or offshore terminal operations that feature the unique sponsoned hull forms similar to those used in the RAstar Class tugs. These tugs are classed according to length, and can accommodate a wide range of powers and other equipment, according to individual operational needs.
This class of tug has been the subject of extensive model-testing and full-scale performance verification. The AVT Class Tugs currently in operation are noted for their exceptional escort performance and sea-keeping capability.
