Halter Tugs

For Any Job, Anywhere.

Need a tug for pushing, pulling, tanker escort, ship assist, docking, salvage, fire and rescue assistance or multiple purposes? With experience in the design and construction of nearly 200 tugs and tug/supply ves- sels, we've probably built one close to your require- ments.

We are the U.S. leader in building specialized hull form tugs with Z-drives and cyclodial propulsion for maneuverability and stability in any direction. We build conventional tugs and the new Ship Docking

Modules (SDM™). We build tugs with advanced barge coupling systems including pins, pads, and tra- ditional wire systems. They are powered and equipped with off-the-shelf components for high bollard pull, dependability, ease of maintenance and low manning.

And they are designed for optimum visibility with close attention to habitability for improved crew per- formance.

So, if you need a tug for inland waterways, harbor, coastal or open ocean service, to any regulatory standard or SOLAS, call Halter, the experienced tug people.
