Towage

Towage is the service of towing or pushing vessels by one or more powered tugboats or towboats. It is a critical aspect of maritime operations, assisting ships in navigating through confined spaces such as ports, canals, or narrow channels, as well as providing support during specific maneuvers like berthing and unberthing.

Towage services contribute to the safe and efficient movement of ships within harbors and waterways, preventing accidents, minimizing the risk of collisions, and ensuring the precise positioning of vessels. Tugboat operators work closely with maritime authorities and ship captains to execute towage operations with precision.
