The ProZero vessels represent the cutting edge of a development process that constantly aims to balance technology innovation, customer demands and industry trends. This process took flight in 2002 when Tuco launched the first vessels of the now superseded AluGuard series. These vessels have proven themselves over years of service and have benefitted many satisfied customers. Furthermore, our key proficiencies have been tried, perfected and validated through contributions to several large-scale, both national and international, development projects. The technical, empirical and commercial insights and accomplishments gained during many years in the business have been condensed and applied in our state-of-the-art ProZero vessels. The EU acknowledged the potential of the ProZero concept and granted project funding under the Horizon2020 program. Horizon2020 is the principal EU Research and Innovation program aimed at promoting smart, sustainable and research based European growth.
