Svitzer

Svitzer is a Danish global provider of towage and marine services, delivering towage, mooring assistance, berthing support, escort services, firefighting, and emergency response to ships, terminals, and offshore installations. It operates a diverse fleet of tugboats—ranging from conventional tugs to modern azimuth stern drive and tractor tugs—across a network in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. As a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk, Svitzer is integrated into Maersk's global port and terminal services framework.

Svitzer emphasizes safety, environmental stewardship, and reliability, adhering to international standards including the ISM Code and SOLAS, and working with port authorities and customers to optimize berthing, towing, and emergency response. The company engages in digitalizing operations, fleet modernization, and expanding services to offshore energy support and terminal logistics.

Founded in Denmark, Svitzer has grown into one of the world's largest towage operators through fleet expansion, acquisitions, and organic growth, maintaining a global network of operations and a long-standing presence in major ports and shipping routes. The organization continually evolves its service offerings to support maritime trade, ship handling, and emergency response in busy port environments.
