Tan Cang 66 is a highly maneuverable, high-performance environmentally friendly tug. Thanks to its flexible operation, the tugboat can operate at seaports, near-shore and offshore areas. After putting Tan Cang 66 into operation at TC-HICT port, TCM tugboat fleet might ensure the safety of towing services and improve the working productivity at the port.
In the future, TCM hopes to continue cooperating with DAMEN to deploy more tugboats with a view to contributing to a Hai Phong "green port" which is in line with the city's development direction.
