Vessel Description

VB SAINT MARC is a harbour and coastal tug operating under the French flag, managed by Les Abeilles International, a subsidiary involved in harbour towage and maritime assistance along the French Atlantic coast. Built in 1993, the vessel is an Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tug, a configuration that provides enhanced manoeuvrability, making it well suited for port towage, escort duties, and vessel berthing assistance operations. The vessel is primarily associated with operations in the Loire estuary region, including the busy industrial port of Saint-Nazaire, which handles significant cargo, cruise, and naval shipbuilding traffic. As an ASD tug, VB SAINT MARC is equipped to provide both push and pull forces from its azimuthing drives, offering precise control in confined port environments.

Note: Some technical specifications, particularly bollard pull figures and detailed engine data, are not publicly confirmed in open maritime registries and have been omitted to maintain factual accuracy. Users requiring certified specifications should consult Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or the vessel's classification society records directly.
