The Danish boat manufacturer Tuco Group ApS, which has a shipyard in Faaborg on Funen, specializes in building boats that are suitable for the demanding Arctic waters.
Disko Line and Albatros Arctic Circle have already purchased a ProZero, and now the company is working to find a partner in Nuuk, for example in terms of negotiation and maintenance. This is according to Tuco Group CEO Jonas Pedersen.
– We have had an ambition to enter the Greenland market for a long time. We believe that we have some products that fit well, and we are currently in close dialogue with a possible partner in Nuuk.
The ProZero boats are characterized by being built from the ground up for commercial use. The boats are constructed of fiberglass composite and are designed for stable sailing in rough waters.
Can be adapted to the customer's needs
According to the manufacturer, this is a boat built on thoroughly tested and safe hulls, while the deck layout can be adapted to the individual customer's needs. For example, the boat for the Albatros Arctic Circle is tailored for day trips and whale watching with good opportunities for social activities in the cabin, and a viewing post on the roof of the cabin.
In addition to passenger transport, the boats are also well suited for various maritime tasks in Greenlandic waters, according to the manufacturer.
The boats are also equipped with modern navigation and safety systems, including radar, echo sounder and automatic fire extinguishing systems.
– The great strength of our workboats is that they are thoroughly tested and proven and can be configured uniquely and adapted to the customer's operational requirements. This provides security regarding performance and operation and flexibility to meet the individual customer's special needs, says Jonas Pedersen, who is experiencing positive feedback from customers who have already purchased a ProZero boat in Greenland. – The feedback we have received is that it is very seaworthy, says Jonas Pedersen.
Produced in Denmark
The boats are adapted to the customer's needs and are delivered as ready-made solutions, typically in lengths from 8-15.99 meters.
– Our model program includes more than 300 different models, all based on three platforms, says Jonas Pedersen.
All boats are produced in Faaborg in Denmark, where Tuco has developed and built specialized maritime vessels for both civilian and military customers since 1998.
