Since 1833, SVITZER has focused on providing safety and support at sea. Our 4,500 colleagues in some 40 countries are dedicated to being the best craftsmen in the industry and share a daily commitment to putting their expertise and experience to good use everywhere we operate. A fleet of more than 500 vessels makes us the global market leader within towage and emergency response.
Towage is all about protecting lives and assets at sea – as well as the environment. SVITZER seeks to do so in a second-to-none and cost-effective way. In addition to traditional harbour, terminal and ocean towage services, we also offer pilotage, fire fighting, pollution response and escort towage.

Despite everyone’s focus on avoiding accidents, mechanical failure and human error will always be a factor when working at sea. Even when accidents have taken place, SVITZER stands ready to assist. Drawing on cutting-edge technology and our large fleet of tugs and emergency towage vessels, our teams of salvage experts work around the world on short notice to assist vessels in need and save both ships and offshore installations from foundering.
SVITZER also operates one of the largest fleets of emergency response and rescue vessels. In addition to offering stand-by capability at offshore installations, we provide a wide range of specialised marine services, including oil recovery/clean-up, anchor handling, rig moves and emergency towing vessels for various governments.
