As with the "tractor" tug, the two main propulsion systems are located under the foredeck, the stabilizing tail fin is replaced by a third drive. With this design, “rotor” tugs achieve approx. 75% of the maximum bollard pull when towed sideways .

The propulsion system of the Bugsier 6 consists of three eight-cylinder in-line engines of the Wärtsilä 20 type , which each act on a Wärtsilä Lips rudder propeller system via couplings and drive shafts . The controllable pitch propellers have a diameter of 2.30 m and run in Kort nozzles .
The Bugsier 6 has two diesel generators (120 kW each) for power generation and a 25 kW generator for port operations.
equipment
The Bugsier 6 is equipped with two hydraulically operated towing winches . The aft winch is located between the chimneys and has a pulling force of up to 30 tons (approx. 294 kN). The tow rope is made of steel and is 500 meters long.
