Ocean's Services:
Efficient – Experienced - Reliable

The growing global concern for protecting the environment has increased the importance of Ocean's ship escort services. Ships escorted by Ocean's state-of-the-art tugs are at a greatly reduced risk of dangerous and environmentally harmful incidents or accidents while navigating through difficult passages, or during periods of severe meteorological conditions.

Services offered:

  • Preventive ship escort (in difficult navigating conditions)
  • Ship escort during severe meteorological conditions (strong winds, high tides, ice, etc.)
  • Escort of ships with dangerous cargo
  • Ships in need of repair
    • Towing from one port to another
    • From one harbour section to another
    • To the shipyard of your choice
  • Towing of non-motorized structures (e.g., a drilling platform) to their destination
  • Short- or long-term tug chartering
