Vessel Description

VB MENANG is a Singapore-registered Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) harbour tug operating primarily within the Port of Singapore, one of the world's busiest maritime hubs. The vessel is part of the Svitzer Asia fleet, providing ship-assist and escort towage services to ocean-going vessels calling at Singapore terminals.

Built in 2016, the vessel reflects modern tug design standards with twin azimuthing drives offering high manoeuvrability in confined port environments. The "VB" prefix is characteristic of the legacy Van Buggenum / Wijsmuller naming convention retained within the Svitzer operational fleet in the Asia-Pacific region.

As an ASD tug, VB MENANG is capable of applying omnidirectional thrust, making her highly effective for precision manoeuvring of large commercial vessels including container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers.
