Factors cited for the award include the construction of two new fully electric, zero-emission tugs, which will operate in Canada and will also reduce underwater noise, and the company’s efforts to move towards carbon neutral operations, like it has already done in Colombia.<\/p>\n

“We appreciate Tug Technology’s recognition, which also represents acknowledgment from many industry players who saw these initiatives as substantive progress towards increasingly sustainable operations. It is part of our strategic objective: to drive innovation and development for better performance and, without a doubt, this award is an incentive to continue on the path of becoming a global player and an industry benchmark,” commented SAAM Towage’s Technical Manager, Pablo C\u00e1ceres, who traveled to Rotterdam to receive the award at the TugTechnology 2023 convention.<\/p>\n
