Vessel Description

VB VEGA is a modern ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) harbor and coastal tug operating under the flag of Germany, managed by Bugsier, one of Germany's leading towage and salvage companies. Delivered in 2022, the vessel represents a newer addition to the Bugsier fleet, designed for harbor towage, escort operations, and coastal towing duties. The ASD configuration provides exceptional maneuverability, allowing full 360-degree thrust vectoring from both drive units, making her well suited for ship-handling operations in confined port environments. Her operational base in Hamburg positions her for regular towage work across the major North Sea and Baltic Sea trading routes and port facilities.
