Danske Tuco Group ApS builds arctic commercial boats for fishing and passenger transport. Their boat type ProZero has already been bought by Disko Line and Albratros Arctic Circle, and now the manufacturer is looking for a business partner in Nuuk.
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 bought a copy of ProZero, and now the company is working to find a partner in Nuuk, for example, in relation to negotiation and maintenance. This is what director of Tuco Group, Jonas Pedersen, says.
– For a long time, we have had an ambition to enter the Greenlandic market. We believe that we have some products that fit in well, and we are currently in close dialogue with a possible business partner in Nuuk.
The ProZero boats are characterized by being built from the ground up for business purposes. The boats are constructed in fiberglass composite and are designed for stable sailing in rough waters.
Can be adapted to the customer’s needs
According to the manufacturer, it 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 Albatros Arctic Circle boat is tailored for day trips and whale watching with good opportunities for social activities in the cabin, and a lookout point on the roof of the cabin.
In addition to passenger transport, the boats are also suitable for various maritime work tasks in Greenland’s waters, according to the manufacturer.
The boats are also equipped with modern navigation and safety systems, including radar, sonar and automatic fire extinguishing systems.
– The great strength of our workboats is that they are thoroughly tested and proven and can be uniquely configured and adapted to the customer’s operational requirements. It provides security around performance and operation and flexibility to meet the individual customer’s special needs, says Jonas Pedersen, who is experiencing positive feedback from the customers who have already bought a ProZero boat in Greenland.
– The feedback we have received is that it is very smooth sailing, says Jonas Pedersen.
Produced in Denmark
The boats are adapted to the customer’s needs and delivered as finished solutions, typically in lengths from 8-15.99 metres.
– Our model program counts more than 300 different models, all of which are based on three platforms, says Jonas Pedersen.
All boats are produced in Faaborg in Denmark, where since 1998 Tuco has developed and built specialized maritime vessels for both civilian and military customers.
