Ocean Towage

Our purpose-built ocean towage vessels are ideally suited for towage of large objects like drilling rigs, offshore structures, dry docks, launch barges laden with platform jackets - and ships of every design.

Our ocean-going tugs are designed for long-haul towage and have excellent seagoing capabilities, even when towing under the most hostile weather conditions, as well as large bunker capacities, enabling them to tow nonstop for up to 45 days at full power.
