Coastal Towage

Fast, dependable coastal towing

In the 1980s and 1990s coastal towing was at the heart of what we do. With tugs such as Ardneil (which had a Metcalfe at the helm for 16 years), Vanguard and Valencia, we built a strong reputation within Europe, often towing as far as Romania, and Carmet became synonymous with fast, dependable coastal towing.
