Svitzer Continue a Significant Newbuild Programme

Since taking over the Wijsmuller Group in 2001 and the acquisition of Adsteam in 2007, Danish owned Svitzer has introduced over 90 new vessels to its fleets around the world. In order to maintain its position as a true market leader in harbour and terminal towage, the company has a significant and ongoing construction programme for fleet renewals and to support new business. In 2007 alone 24 vessels were delivered, the majority for new projects.
