Operating Region

Vessel Description

VB ALBATROS is a Spanish-flagged harbour tug built in 1987 and operated under the Boluda Towage banner, part of the broader Boluda Corporación Marítima fleet. With an IMO number dating its construction to the late 1980s, the vessel represents a mature working tug design suited to coastal and harbour assistance roles.

The vessel is primarily deployed in the Canary Islands region, supporting port operations at islands including Gran Canaria and Tenerife — key transit and commercial hubs in the eastern Atlantic. Operating under the Spanish flag with a call sign registered through Spain's maritime authority, VB ALBATROS performs escort, berthing assistance, and general harbour towage duties for commercial shipping traffic.

As part of the Boluda fleet, the vessel operates within an established maritime services network that provides 24-hour port towage services, reflecting the operational demands of busy Atlantic island ports.
