Vessel Description

SAAM TLALOC is a harbor and coastal tug operating under the Mexican flag as part of the SAAM Remolques México fleet, a subsidiary of the Chilean maritime conglomerate SAAM S.A. The vessel is designed for harbor towage, ship-handling, and escort operations along the Gulf of Mexico coast. Built in 1998, the tug is equipped with azimuth stern drive propulsion, providing high maneuverability characteristic of ASD-type tugs, making it well suited for precision ship-handling in confined port environments. Named after Tlaloc, the Aztec deity of rain and water, the vessel reflects SAAM's practice of assigning regionally significant names to its Mexican fleet. SAAM Remolques México is one of the leading towage service providers operating in Mexican ports, and SAAM TLALOC represents the company's commitment to maintaining a capable and modern fleet for port service operations.
