Vessel Description

VB SONADOR is a Spanish-flagged ASD harbor tug operating under the Boluda Towage fleet, one of Europe's leading towage companies. As an azimuth stern drive tug, she is equipped with omnidirectional thrust capability, making her highly maneuverable in confined port environments. She is deployed primarily in harbor assist and escort operations within Spanish port jurisdictions. The "VB" prefix in her name designates her as part of the Boluda fleet designation convention, consistent with other vessels in the Boluda Towage portfolio. Her compact dimensions and ASD configuration make her well suited for ship-handling operations in restricted waterways and commercial port berths.
