O
cean BC Towing Inc., a related corporation of Ocean Group, has been offering harbour towing services in the Port of Vancouver since the beginning of 2020. In order to meet the needs of this client, Ocean Group proceeded to acquire two new 28-metre tugs newly built in a Damen shipyard located in Vietnam. These tugs were added to the existing fleet. These new tugs will be joined by the OCEAN STEVNS, a tug already present in the group’s fleet, which previously operated in Kingston, Jamaica, notably following the signing of a service contract with Cargill Limited.
Recently, in March, the Group announced the arrival of the fourth harbour tug in Vancouver. The OCEAN GEORGIE BAIN, a 24-metre tug built in 2009 at Ocean Industries Inc. joins the three tugs already present on the West Coast. In total, four state-of-the-art tugs, which were also mobilized on site, are providing harbour towing services in Vancouver. After more than three years in Alberta, Ocean Group has extended its services to the Canadian West Coast. The company is pleased to highlight the awarding of several contracts in British Columbia to some of its related corporations that operate in different sectors of activity.
