Horses for courses
Towage is all about combined forces. We need to push and pull. We need power and control. It is important to innovate, but also trust in proven technology. Our tugs are powered by horsepower, but above all powered by people. Experienced crew and young talents. There is no leadership without expertise. No tug without a qualified crew.
Our versatile fleet of around 90 powerful tugs, operating in Europe and Offshore, demonstrates our commitment to our customers’ needs and local authorities. As we choose the right tug for the right port, we operate several tug types, like Stern-drive tugs, Z-Peller tugs, Voith Schneider, Rotortugs, and hybrid (Rotor)tugs.
Our powerful fleet stands for
6,000 tons
of combined bollard pull
COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
HYBRID TUGS
Our most tangible commitment to the environment and emissions reduction are our three hybrid tug boats VB Kracht, RT Evolution, and RT Emotion. Thanks to their batteries and electric motors, these tugs are sailing very efficiently and eco-friendly, delivering fuel savings and optimizing working conditions for the crew.
IMO TIER-III
In January 2020, we became the world's first towage provider to successfully retrofit the tugboat Union Koala to comply with Tier III standards. And in 2021, Boluda Towage has taken four newly-built Damen tugs, the “VB BOLERO, VB RUMBA, VB FLANDES, and VB SAMBA”, into service in the Port of Zeebrugge. These tugs are complying with the most recent IMO Tier-III emissions requirements and are certified with the highest fire-fighting standards.
