emergency towing vessels

Emergency Towing Vessels (ETVs) are specialized ships stationed near busy ports and waterways to provide rapid assistance to large vessels in distress, such as those experiencing mechanical failure or risking environmental accidents like oil spills. Equipped with powerful engines and towing equipment, ETVs can quickly maneuver to safe or repair positions, helping prevent accidents from escalating. They play a critical role in maritime safety and environmental protection by ensuring that vessels in trouble are efficiently and safely moved to harbor or safe locations.
