strong local roots
Boluda Towage’s rich history in the Netherlands dates back to 1842. By now, Rotterdam-based tugboats are world-famous in the maritime sector. In a port city like Rotterdam, where some 30,000 ocean-going vessels call at the port every year, towage services are invaluable.
In August 2019, Boluda Towage Division acquired KST (KotugSmit Towage). The company had a leading presence in 12 ports in 4 European countries (the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany), which has led to increased growth and smarter towing operations with a modern and efficient fleet of around 70 tugs.
Track record in the Netherlands
We operate globally, but local anchoring is and remains of great importance to us. Our commercial team serves both the international and local port networks, and in all the ports where we offer our services, we work with local crews and teams who know the ports like the back of their hand.
Some recent examples of milestones in Rotterdam:
- In June 2023, Boluda Towage Rotterdam established Boluda Tender & Transfer Services Rotterdam to offer customers an additional maritime solution for the transfer of marine supplies, stores, parts, and persons, from our base in the Port of Rotterdam to anchorage areas on the Dutch & Flemish North Sea or vice versa.
- Tuesday 19 March 2024 marked the arrival of the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (R09) in the port of Rotterdam. Boluda Towage safely assisted the aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier's shape and hull structure required special towing and mooring operations, and therefore the tug's mast had to be folded.
- Tugs, the powerhouses of the port: The new ‘Behind the Scenes’ video series and renewed Rotterdam Port Magazine (created by the Port of Rotterdam Authorities), offer a unique look behind the scenes at the companies in the Port of Rotterdam.In January 2024, Boluda Towage participated in the first edition of the renewed magazine, and we are proud of that!
- 11 January 2024: On Thursday 11 January 2024, Boluda Towage assisted the jack-up unit “SEAFOX 4” in the Port of Rotterdam. Boluda Towage’s tugs VB BRENT and VB GINGER sailed out from Rotterdam a day earlier to assist SEAFOX 4 from her stand-by location at the Dutch North Sea to the Port of Rotterdam.
- On Tuesday 3rd October 2023, Boluda Towage assisted the jack-up unit “Seafox 2” from the North Sea to Wiltonhaven in Rotterdam.Boluda Offshore tug VB BEVER safely performed the rig move on the North Sea.
