Vessel Description

SVITZER RASHEED is an ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) harbor tug operating under the Svitzer fleet in Egypt. As part of the global Svitzer towage network, the vessel provides harbor towage, berthing, and marine assistance services primarily within Egyptian port waters. The ASD configuration provides the vessel with exceptional maneuverability, allowing 360-degree thrust vectoring which is characteristic of modern harbor tugs operating in confined port environments. The vessel is part of Svitzer's regional fleet supporting maritime operations along the Egyptian coast and associated waterways, including proximity to the Suez Canal corridor region. As an ASD tug, SVITZER RASHEED is well suited for ship-handling operations involving large commercial vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers transiting Egyptian ports.
