A tugboat’s main function is to support large vessels with arrival, transit, and berthing/unberthing maneuvers at the port. Our fleet—with effective hull designs and powerful, flexible propulsion systems—serves more than 37,000 ships each year.

We uphold the highest safety standards outlined in handbooks and procedures drafted collaboratively with our HSE personnel. In addition, SAAM Towage adheres to the U.K. Standard Conditions for Towage and Other Services (revised 1986) and/or the Standard Conditions by International Ocean Towage Agreement recommended by BIMCO.
