Coastal Towage

Towing from A to B

Iskes also undertakes coastal towage jobs, mainly in NW European waters.

For instance towage of barges are carried out, but also Iskes can be called whenever a vessel has deficiencies with its propulsion or steering equipment.

For the purpose of emergency tows out of the home port IJmuiden, Iskes has one dedicated Salvage Tug on immediate stand-by. In 2008 four emergency tows have been performed, mainly under adverse weather conditions.

It must be said that Iskes is known to pay special attention to the strenght and reliability of its vessels and deck equipment: the design and construction is always just a bit more stronger or more powerfull then perhaps needed. But we belief this pays itself back easily, both in terms of safety and in terms of reliability / durability.
