The intended merger of the European harbour towage operations of Royal Boskalis Westminster and Kotug International has been completed.
The joint operations have been transferred to a 50/50 joint venture, bringing together the European harbour towage activities of both Smit, a Boskalis subsidiary, and Kotug. In order to retain both strong brand names, the joint venture will operate under the name Kotug Smit Towage. The operational integration will start with immediate effect.
Kotug Smit Towage Fleet
With a fleet of 65 tugboats, Kotug Smit Towage will be a leading provider of harbour towage services in Northwest Europe, operating in eleven ports in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The activities of both partners in other parts of the world are excluded from this cooperation.
