Boluda Towage, the towage division of Boluda Corporación Marítima, has officially commenced operations in Puerto Cortés, Honduras, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion in Central America. Located on the Caribbean coast, Puerto Cortés is one of the largest and best-equipped ports in the region and the only deep-water port in Central America.
Boluda Towage’s fleet in Puerto Cortés consists of three powerful tugs with 70 tons of bollard pull and ASD (Azimuth Stern Drive) propulsion: the VB KUKULKAN, VB BRIBON, and VB CHIHUAHUA. The VB KUKULKAN and VB BRIBON were recently built by Damen Shipyards and are the first tugs in Honduras to comply with the IMO TIER III regulations, which set strict standards for reducing emissions from marine engines.
The safety and optimisation of the manoeuvres afforded by these tugboats in port manoeuvres will speed up the logistics chain, guaranteeing the continuous flow of the country’s maritime foreign trade.
Boluda remains firmly committed to decarbonisation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the improvement of air quality in the coastal areas and port cities in which it operates.
