Vessel Description

SAAM Pegasus is an ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) harbor tug operating under the flag of Brazil as part of the SAAM Towage Brasil fleet. The vessel is designed for port towage, escort, and berthing assistance operations. As an ASD tug, it is equipped with azimuthing thrusters that provide exceptional maneuverability, allowing the vessel to apply pulling or pushing forces in any direction without repositioning. The tug operates primarily within Brazilian port environments, supporting vessel berthing, unberthing, and escort operations. SAAM Towage Brasil is part of the Chilean-based SAAM group, one of the largest towage operators in Latin America, with a significant fleet presence across multiple South American port facilities.
