The Fortescue Metals Group stated that the Schotter contract was awarded to Schotter for its incredible market share and experience in the field of full-rotary tugboat propulsion, as well as Schotter in Western Australia and Hedland. The port has a great influence and the market has been working for more than a decade.

It is reported that the advanced full-rotation tugboat is known for its outstanding maneuverability and ability, and can control the position of the tugboat in the most difficult operating environment, with the most versatile advantages. The third propeller ensures that the steeringman can perform the same simple maneuvering at the bow or stern to ensure safety, but usually the bow is operated.

With these new tugs, Fortescue Metals can provide a variety of escort and berthing services. Port Hedland, located in Western Australia, is the world's largest export port for iron ore, where new tugs will operate. Fortescue Metal Group has obtained a towing permit at the port to serve a variety of ships that transport iron ore, especially to China and Japan. The permit includes the development of new tugs and facilities.
