Vessel Description

BRAM BUCK is a Brazilian-flagged azimuth stern drive (ASD) harbor and coastal tug operated by Wilson Sons Rebocadores, one of Brazil's largest port towage and maritime services companies. Built in Brazil in 2017, the vessel is designed for ship-assist, escort, and berthing operations across major Brazilian ports. As an ASD tug, she benefits from enhanced maneuverability provided by her azimuth thruster configuration, allowing 360-degree thrust vectoring suited to precise port towage operations. Wilson Sons operates an extensive fleet of modern tugs throughout Brazil, and BRAM BUCK forms part of that contemporary fleet supporting port logistics and maritime safety operations along the Brazilian coastline.
