VT Halter Marine tugs are engaged in: towing and pushing; anchor handling; mooring and positioning; dredging assistance; tanker escort; port management; shipping; piloting, and fire fighting and salvage.

    Recognition of our leadership and experience in tugs is evidenced by our selection to build the world's largest, most powerful tugs fitted with Voith-Schneider cycloidal propulsion units. These 155-foot, 8,000 horsepower giants are now escorting tankers in the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. We also are the sole builder of Hvide Marine’s revolutionary double-ended ship docking modules (SDM ).
