Marine Services and Port Infrastructure Solutions

Svitzer, founded in 1833, leverages nearly two centuries of expertise to provide essential towage and sustainable marine solutions globally. As a leading port and terminal infrastructure provider, Svitzer operates a vast fleet of 446 vessels, serving approximately 2,000 customers across 141 ports and 40 terminals in 37 countries. The company's powerful tugboats and expert towage services are critical for maintaining the efficient flow of goods, fostering business growth, and connecting communities worldwide.

Committed to innovation and decarbonisation, Svitzer is at the forefront of developing sustainable maritime practices. A prime example is the revolutionary TRAnsverse tug, which offers enhanced maneuverability and towing capabilities, expanding the operating envelope by approximately 50% compared to standard ASD tug designs and achieving a 15% gain in fuel efficiency. Furthermore, Svitzer is actively leading electrification efforts within the industry, investing in next-generation electric tugs to reduce environmental impact.

Svitzer consistently engages in strategic partnerships to support critical energy infrastructure and port development. Notable collaborations include scaling operations with the Port of Santos, Latin America’s largest port, and providing specialized towage expertise to Gastrade’s Alexandroupolis Independent Natural Gas System (Alexandroupolis INGS) LNG terminal in Greece. The company also partners with entities like Buksér og Berging, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, Atlantic Towing Limited, and Cochin Shipyard to drive sustainability, modernize fleets, and advance the manufacturing of electric tugs, ensuring safety and growth in vital maritime hubs.
