Harbour Towage

Competitive harbour towage has existed in certain US ports for almost 60 years. SSY's own connections with this industry date back to the mid 1940s. During the last two decades, competition within this industry has continued to grow. Towage in most of the major US East Coast and Gulf ports, as well as in some US West Coast ports, is now competitive.

Shipowners/operators can now benefit substantially by entering into standard harbour towage contracts. SSY offers clients highly competitive rates, terms and conditions on behalf of leading towage firms in all of these main competitive ports.

Competitive towage in North/Eastern Europe has been considerably slower to develop. However, over the last few years the number of competitive deals available has also increased. SSY is well placed with leading towage firms and able to offer clients the potential of considerable savings on harbour towage costs in these competitive areas.
