Vessel Description

VB SARGAZOS is a harbor and coastal tug built in 1999 by the Spanish shipyard Construcciones Navales P. Freire in Vigo. Operating under the Uruguayan flag and managed by Tsakos Industrias Navales S.A., the vessel is based out of Montevideo and provides towage and escort services within the Río de la Plata region. As a Z-drive tug, the vessel benefits from enhanced maneuverability, making it well suited for ship-assist operations in confined port environments and shallow estuarine waters.
