The traditional blessing ceremony was held in the presence of the Chairman of the

“These new state-of-the-art 24-metre tugs demonstrate Ocean Group’s confidence
in the development of port activities in Kingston and its commitment to constantly
offer a high level of service thanks to the competence of its crews and the quality of
its equipment. We are very proud of these new acquisitions, which will increase
