Vessel Description

SVITZER CAROLINA is an ASD harbor tug operating under the Svitzer fleet in Brazil. As part of the Svitzer Latin America operation, the vessel provides port towage and escort services at Brazilian terminals. The ASD configuration grants the vessel high maneuverability, making it well suited for ship-handling operations in confined port environments. The vessel is part of a series of tugs built by Wilson Sons to support the growing demand for towage services along the Brazilian coast.
