Vessel Description

VB TANNAT is an ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) harbor tug operating under the Uruguayan flag, based in Montevideo. Built in 2007 at the Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, she is a modern twin-azimuth tractor tug designed for high-maneuverability port operations. The vessel is part of a fleet serving the busy Río de la Plata corridor, providing harbor towage, escort, and mooring services to commercial vessels transiting the Port of Montevideo. Her ASD configuration delivers exceptional 360-degree thrust capability, making her well suited for close-quarters ship handling in the challenging tidal and current conditions characteristic of the Río de la Plata estuary.
