SMS Towage - 'Firm with real pulling power'


Smash! Another bottle of champagne gone and another boat named. This has become a familiar harbour-side scene for SMS Towage, which has grown rapidly into the UK's biggest independent port tug operator.

One of the latest additions to the fleet is the Englishman – the 11th to bear this name, another hard-working little boat capable of taking huge oil tankers in and out of port and working in the open sea as well.
