Cochin Shipyard Ltd. (CSL) has signed a contract with Denmark-based Svitzer to build four fully electric ‘TRAnsverse 2600E’ tugs.
The agreement was finalised on December 5, 2025, following an earlier Letter of Intent issued on October 31. The vessels will each be 26 metres long and for a 70-ton bollard pull.
The company stated in its exchange filing that the deal falls under its ‘Significant’ order category, which applies to projects valued between ₹250 crore and ₹500 crore.
The classification table included in the filing lists this as the 2nd tier in CSL’s order brackets.
CSL will construct the tugs at its Kochi yard as per Svitzer’s technical requirements for its global fleet. The company expects deliveries to begin from late 2027.
The agreement also gives Svitzer the option to place up to four additional orders, depending on its future deployment plans.
In the filing, CSL noted that the project aligns with ongoing national maritime programmes such as Maritime India Vision 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047.
These policies highlight domestic manufacturing and shipbuilding capacity. The project is also listed as contributing to the Make in India framework.
CSL clarified that no promoter or promoter-group entity has any interest in the organisation awarding the contract. The company also said the agreement does not fall under related-party transactions under current regulations.
