Vessel Description

SVITZER JOAQUIM R. is an Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) harbour tug operating under the Brazilian flag as part of the Svitzer Brasil fleet. Built in 2018, the vessel is purpose-designed for port towage, escort, and berthing/unberthing assistance operations. As an ASD tug, she benefits from twin azimuthing thrusters providing a high degree of manoeuvrability and omni-directional thrust capability, making her well suited for operations in confined port environments. The vessel operates under the commercial and technical management of Svitzer Brasil Ltda, a subsidiary of the globally operating towage group Svitzer, which is part of the A.P. Moller Group. Her relatively compact dimensions combined with meaningful bollard pull capacity reflect the modern design philosophy applied to contemporary Brazilian harbour tugs serving major port terminals.
