Harbour towage

Harbour towage involves the use of specialized tugboats to assist ships in maneuvering within port areas. These tugboats help dock, undock, and position large vessels safely around docks or navigating tight or congested waterways. They operate by connecting to ships via towlines, providing controlled pulling or pushing forces, often in challenging conditions like strong currents or limited space. Harbour towage ensures efficient, safe, and precise movement of ships, reducing the risk of accidents and enabling smooth port operations. It is essential for handling cargo ships, tankers, and cruise ships in busy maritime hubs.
