    Tugboat & Towing Services in Egypt

    Six Max Marine Group-owned vessels, with additional support craft provided or arranged for towing, anchor handling, supply, standby and project duties.

    Towing and vessel support

    Owned fleet and additional support craft matched to the duty

    Max Marine Group owns six vessels. Four owned vessels are detailed below, while particulars for the remaining two are issued against enquiry. Across the owned fleet, capabilities include harbour, coastal and offshore towing, anchor handling, supply, standby, barge and pontoon towing and project support, with bollard pull up to 50 tonnes.

    Where the required duty falls outside the owned fleet, Max Marine can provide and coordinate suitable support craft through approved vessel owners. Depending on the scope, options can include crew boats, utility and service vessels, barges, pontoons, workboats and other project craft.

    Selection starts with the operating area, duty, dates, bollard pull, deck load or area, passenger or accommodation needs, cargo and mobilisation point. The selected vessel, crew, certificates, permits and port attendance are then coordinated against the agreed operation.
