As explained, the joint venture intends to establish “a strong presence” within the Canadian terminal and harbor towing market.
By combining their complementary skills, the duo intends to share joint experience, expertise and best practices in the towage market.
“KOTUG continues to expand internationally and looks forward to providing sustainable industry-leading equipment and services to our Canadian customers.
