Dear advertisers,

I’m delighted to welcome you to the Tug Technology & Business media pack for 2016. Over the past year the tug industry has continued to see more than its fair share of change, with mergers and acquisitions creating more powerful regional harbour towage groups with more rationalisation within the industry likely as operators seek to achieve economies of scale. The pace of technology development has shown no sign of slowing down. Tugs may be small, but they often punch above their weight in terms of the sophisticated technology installed onboard. Tug operators have continued to place orders for vessels with hybrid propulsion systems, saving cost and reducing environmental impact. More are on order for delivery in 2016. Alternative fuel sources are also being explored and more gas-powered tugs are now under construction, again with the aim of improving the bottom line while strengthening green credentials.

As well as advances in propulsion technology, there have been improvements in bridge design, fender technology and navigational and communication systems. Tug operators are also looking for ways of enhancing the safety of their operations. This is reflected in ongoing training initiatives and the use of advanced simulation techniques. Individual towage sectors have specific needs and this includes for example the LNG terminal business, where there has been considerable investment in escort and harbour towage tugs suited for this role. The increasing size of container vessels is also driving a trend towards the specification of higher bollard pull tugs in many ports and harbours. Market trends are also driving a requirement for more multi-purpose tugs, able to switch roles and ensure high levels of utilisation over their useful working lives. As more shipping routes in the Arctic and Antarctic open up, and oil exploration steps up in harsh environments, demand for ice-class escort towage vessels will rise. Against this backdrop, Tug Technology & Business is becoming a must-read publication. The magazine meets a gap in the market by combining the views and perspectives of end users of towage services, with profiles of leading tug operators and builders, and up-to-date information about the latest technology developments. There are also regular features on notable new tug designs and repair and refit projects. The magazine continues to provide in-depth, specialist and independent editorial on the key technology and business challenges that matter.

Yours faithfully

Clive Woodbridge
