Vessel Description

SAAM TAMOIO is a Brazilian-flagged ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) harbor tug operating under the SAAM Towage fleet in Brazil. Built in 2011 at a Brazilian shipyard, the vessel is designed for ship-assist, escort, and berthing/unberthing operations in port environments. As part of the SAAM Smit Towage Brasil fleet, she operates primarily in the Port of Santos, one of South America's busiest port complexes. The ASD configuration provides the vessel with high maneuverability and significant bollard pull capacity, making her well suited for handling large commercial vessels in confined port areas. The tug carries Brazilian registration and operates under the oversight of the Brazilian Maritime Authority.
