Vessel Description

SVITZER LONDON is an Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) harbour tug operated by Svitzer Marine Limited as part of its Port of London fleet. Built by Sanmar Shipyards in Turkey in 2014, the vessel is designed for high-maneuverability harbour towage operations on the River Thames. As an ASD tug, it is capable of generating thrust in any direction, making it highly effective for escort, berthing, and unberthing operations on large commercial vessels transiting the Port of London. The vessel operates under the UK flag and forms part of Svitzer's broader fleet serving major UK ports under the operational management of the Maersk-owned towage division.
